The query I posted in another message appears to work in 7.4 and later (i.e., versions that have the Information Schema): SELECT character_value FROM information_schema.sql_implementation_info WHERE implementation_info_name = 'DBMS VERSION'; Unless I'm misreading what set_info_version() and setup_schema() do in initdb.c, the above query will return a value based on the value of PG_VERSION that was current when the initdb that initialized the cluster was built. Although that raises a question: is that the desired behavior, or should 'DBMS VERSION' return the version currently running? -- Michael Fuhr http://www.fuhr.org/~mfuhr/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
