To determine which version of Microsoft SQL Server is running, connect to SQL Server by using SQL Server Management Studio, and then run the following Transact-SQL statement.
For SQL 2008, 2005, 2000:
SELECT SERVERPROPERTY(‘productversion’), SERVERPROPERTY (‘productlevel’), SERVERPROPERTY (‘edition’)
The following results are returned:
- The product version (for example, 10.0.1600.22)
- The product level (for example, RTM)
- The edition (for example, Enterprise)
For example, the results resemble the following.
| 10.0.1600.22 | RTM | Enterprise Edition |
