Get the version in MySQL
In this article, we will learn how to get the current version of MySQL on Windows systems.
It is necessary for businesses to maintain versions of different tools and software used to run their business in order to keep systems compatible. This is also true for MySQL. Ensuring version similarity helps prevent errors.
MySQL helps us to get the MySQL server version through a predefined function. Let’s understand how to run this function and get the version in more depth. To get the current version of MySQL on your system, you can use the following query.
SELECT VERSION();
This will cause the version to be displayed on the MySQL client. The output can be explained as follows.
VERSION
8.0.27
We can also use aliases to display the version and increase readability for the user or client. This can be done with the help of the following query.
SELECT VERSION() as your_sql_version;
The output of the above query will be shown below.
your_sql_version
8.0.27
You can also use the following query to get the version.
select @@version
This query will also produce the output shown below.
@@version
8.0.27
Therefore, with the help of VERSION()the function or @@versionstatement, we can effectively get the version of MySQL.
