mysql.getServerVersion

Get MySQL server version in numerical form

Syntax

mysql.getServerVersion(dbid)

Params

A database connection id

Returns

An integer containing the version of the MySQL server

Examples

dialog.alert("Server version: " + mysql.getServerVersion(id))
	 ยป Server version: 50037

Notes

Return format is a number that represents the MySQL server version in this format:

major_version*10000 + minor_version *100 + sub_version

For example, 5.1.5 is returned as 50105. This function is useful in client programs for quickly determining whether some version-specific server capability exists.
