Re: How to write java code to get the version info of Mysql connector/J

[Filipe Silva]

Version information can be obtained via java.sql.Driver:

Driver drv = DriverManager.getDriver("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306");
System.out.println(drv.getMajorVersion() + "." + drv.getMinorVersion());

This only gets you major and minor version though.
For complete information consult java.sql.DatabaseMetaData:

DatabaseMetaData dbmd = DriverManager.getConnection(...);
System.out.println(dbmd.getDriverName() + " - " + dbmd.getDriverVersion() + " (" + dbmd.getDriverMajorVersion() + "." + dbmd.getDriverMinorVersion() + ")");


I hope that helps.
