Hi! First, the MariaDB developers list is the right place to ask questions like this.

On some MySQL servers the version number returns a "-log" suffixed to the version number. For example, 5.0.45-log. What does the "-log" mean or signify? This is not a standard version number as far as I can tell. Should it not simply return 5.0.45? I have posted the question to a couple of forums but nobody's able to answer. I have just updated the documentation at https://kb.askmonty.org/en/version/ to answer this questions in detail. Here is a copy of the new documentation: The VERSION() string may have one or more of the following suffixes: Suffix Description -embedded The server is an embedded server (libmysqld). -log General logging, slow logging or binary (replication) logging is enabled. -debug The server is compiled for debugging. -valgrind The server is compiled to be instrumented with valgrind.
