To retrieve the SQL Server version, you can use different methods depending on whether you have direct access to the SQL Server instance or if you are querying it remotely.

How do I find SQL Server version?

Open your SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), then connect to the SQL Server instance you want to check.

Once connected, open a new query window, then execute the following SQL query.

SELECT @@VERSION

This query retrieves the version information directly from the SQL Server instance you are connected to.

For example:

Microsoft SQL Server 2019 (RTM-GDR) (KB5035434) - 15.0.2110.4 (X64)
Mar 12 2024 18:25:56
Copyright (C) 2019 Microsoft Corporation
Enterprise Edition (64-bit) on Windows 10 Enterprise 10.0 <X64> (Build 19045: )

You can easily view the sql version in Object Explorer.
