VERSION
Syntax
VERSION()
Description
Returns a string that indicates the MariaDB server version. The string uses the utf8 character set.
Examples
SELECT VERSION(); +----------------+ | VERSION() | +----------------+ | 10.4.7-MariaDB | +----------------+
The VERSION() string may have one or more of the following suffixes:
| Suffix | Description |
|---|---|
| -embedded | The server is an embedded server (libmariadbd). |
| -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. |
Changing the Version String
Some old legacy code may break because they are parsing the
VERSION string and expecting a MySQL string or a simple version
string like Joomla til API17, see MDEV-7780.
One can fool these applications by setting the version string from the command line or the my.cnf files with --version=....
