Yes	Yes

The mi_library_version( ) function copies the version and version date into the user-defined buffer that buf references.

Server Only

In a C UDR, mi_library_version( ) returns the name of the database server and its version number.

Important:

Beginning with Dynamic Server Version 10.0, use the new mi_server_library_version( ) function to obtain the correct database server version. The mi_library_version( ) function returns a string with the value "IBM Informix Dynamic Server Version 9.50.UC1," which would still be applicable if your software uses string compare functionality.

End of Server Only

MI_OK: indicates that the function was successful.
MI_ERROR: indicates that the function was not successful.
