Hi,

I am using derby in the embedded mode for a Java Windows desktop
application. I am trying to find a way that I can determine what version
my database is. When I use the Java Connection class
getMetaData().getDatabaseProductVersion() call it always returns the
version of the derby driver I am running, rather than the version of the
actual database. Or else it's returning the version of the database
after a soft upgrade, but not the underlying database version.  Same for
getMetaData().getDatabaseMajorVersion() and
getMetaData().getDatabaseMinorVersion(). The reason I want to know the
version of the database is so I can determine if I need/want to do a
hard upgrade on the database. Is there any way for me to get the version
of the database from inside a Java program?

Thank you.

Lisa
