Check if SQL Server version is 2005 or lower

This script shows a simple way to check if the current version of SQL Server is 2005 or lower.

It exploits the new server property called 'BuildClrVersion' which is not defined on SQL Server 2000 (and lower) but has just been introduced with 2005.

It may be useful to condition the execution of a piece of code which is required only for an older or the new version.
