Finding the Version of a Flyway-managed Database Using SQL
Maintaining a version of a database opens a lot of possibilities, especially if an automated process can easily grab the current version, at runtime, using just SQL. You might, for example, have a routine that is only appropriate after a particular version.

No more desultory quests, when dealing with support issues, or when bug fixing, to find which database version was running when the bug happened.
