MORE INFORMATION

There are situations in which you need to know the version of a stored procedure, such as when you are experiencing difficulties attaching to a SQL Server database. Method 1 uses the Query Analyzer in SQL Server to obtain a version number. Method 2 uses an attached table in Microsoft Access.

Method 1

Using the Query Analyzer, log on to SQL Server with a userID and password; using the SQL administrator's login ID (SA) is ideal, but it is not always readily available. After you log on, open the query window and issue the command USE MASTER. This action tells SQL Server to use the Master database that contains the system tables. To determine a version, type the following SQL command: 
   USE MASTER
   GO
   SELECT Attribute_Value FROM Spt_Server_Info WHERE Attribute_ID = 500
NOTE: If you are using a version of the SQL Server earlier than version 4.2, substitute "MsServer_Info" for "Spt_Server_Info."

Method 2

In a situation where you can successfully link (attach) SQL Server data, you can link the Spt_Server_Info table from the Master database to a Microsoft Access database, and then create a query to retrieve the Attribute_Value for the record where the Attribute_ID is equal to 500.

If you are using a Microsoft Access project (.adp), you can open the the Master database as a new project, and then create a query in the same manner as described for a Microsoft Access database (.mdb).

NOTE: If you are using a version of SQL Server earlier than version 4.2, link to the table MsServer_Info, instead of Spt_Server_Info.
