Find the version of SQL server you are running

Hosk

This would seem an easy thing to do but it can be a maze of screens.

You can go to the SQL Server manager and go help –> about

You can also run the SQL query below

SELECT @@VERSION ‘Version’, serverproperty(‘edition’) ‘Server Edition’ , SERVERPROPERTY(‘ProductLevel’) ‘ProductLevel’

which gives information like this

Version

Edition

Whilst searching for a list of build numbers I found this excellent article from Microsoft which contains information about how to find version numbers of different products and lists some of the version numbers of the different releases
