1. no meaningful way to determine fe or be version?

   PostgreSQL Bugs List <pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org> — 2000-11-14T06:45:31Z

   Paul M. Aoki (aoki@acm.org) reports a bug with a severity of 3
   The lower the number the more severe it is.
   
   Short Description
   no meaningful way to determine fe or be version?
   
   Long Description
   both the odbc and jdbc drivers seem to hardcode the database version, e.g., org/postgresql/jdbc2/DatabaseMetaData.java always returns "6.5.2" when you call getDatabaseProductVersion().
   
   it would be nice if the metadata routines were actually tied to something returned from the backend.
   
   Sample Code

   You can do a 'SELECT version()' to get a version string from the
   backend.
