You have to know what kind of version numbers the database uses to

I would argue that you wouldn't need to know what the value means, if
it is a number and it always changes in a predictable way. Or when the
publisher of the value has documented somewhere what it means.
It's fine if in fact you know that it's a number and it always changes in
a predicable way, but that's a fairly strong assumption. Databases use
all sorts of things to identify version numbers, e.g., a hash of the last
applied update.
