Nice QOTD.

Weird. SELECT @@version does not return SP information, at least not on my machine:

Microsoft SQL Server 2014 - 12.0.4213.0 (X64)

Jun 9 2015 12:06:16

Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation

Express Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.3 <X64> (Build 9600: ) (Hypervisor)

According to https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms177512.aspx Product Version is only returned for Azure.

It should be something like:

Microsoft SQL Server 2014 (SP2) (KB3171021) - 12.0.5000.0 (X64)

Jun 17 2016 19:14:09

Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation

Express Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.3 <X64> (Build 9600: ) (Hypervisor)

Can you try this one:

SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('productlevel') AS ProductLevel;

What does it show ?

Cheers,

Iulian

ProductLevel
SP1

I also found an instance with the same SP1 but where @@Version does not show the (SP1).

According to the documentation here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms174396.aspx

The SERVERPROPERTY function returns individual properties that relate to the version information whereas the @@VERSION function combines the output into one string. If your application requires individual property strings, you can use the SERVERPROPERTY function to return them instead of parsing the @@VERSION results.

So I would say there is an inconsistency, maybe a bug, in the way @@Version works for 2014 SP1.

The lack of mention of the Service Pack when querying @@Version might not be a bug from 2014, but one depending on the way it was installed.

My local installation of SQL Server 2012, won't show the SP, but the servers will.

However, the version number can be used to determine the SP installed.

I checked the correct answer, was told it was the correct answer, but was told my answer was wrong. :/

Nice explanation, I did not thought about it.

Strange. I selected the right answer but I declared me that my choice was wrong!

SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('productversion') as ProductVersion, SERVERPROPERTY('productlevel') as ProductLevel, SERVERPROPERTY('edition') as Edition, SERVERPROPERTY('ProductMajorVersion') as ProductMajorVersion, SERVERPROPERTY('ProductMinorVersion') as ProductMinorVersion

Thanks.

SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('productversion') as ProductVersion, SERVERPROPERTY('productlevel') as ProductLevel, SERVERPROPERTY('edition') as Edition, SERVERPROPERTY('ProductMajorVersion') as ProductMajorVersion, SERVERPROPERTY('ProductMinorVersion') as ProductMinorVersion

Did you select both answers? If not, it's considered wrong.
