Version Check?

Posted in 1999

Summary

Jason Pancake asked how to check which Informix version runs on AIX 4.x. Art Kagel gave a DBINFO('VERSION') query on systables for later versions, which Rob Wilson noted needs the version known first. Gerhard Quell suggested onstat or the -v flag on esql, isql and fglgo; Tony Flaherty suggested listing the etc/*-cr files; Steven Lee suggested onstat -.

Here's a newbie question for you... How can I check the version of Informix I'm currently running. I'm running on AIX 4.x... Thanks for your help -- Jason Pancake --- McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty Bag filled with vegetable soup. (Paul Sabourin, Silver Spring)

For later versions: SELECT DBINFO( 'VERSION', 'MAJOR ) || '.' || DBINFO( 'VERSION', 'MINOR' ) FROM systables WHERE tabid = 99; Art S.
