We are in the process of upgrading our servers and I was asked about the version of mysql we have currently (as we would like to stick with the same type, just upgrade the version). I need to know which edition I have installed. Here's the information I got when I ran SHOW VARIABLES;
protocol_version 10
version 5.0.67
version_comment SUSE MySQL RPM
version_compile_machine x86_64
version_compile_os suse-linux-gnu
EDIT I also found the license in the variables, which says GPL

Normally, the
version
andversion_comment
would have this information, andSTATUS
command would also show them combined inServer version:
, e.g.However, you are using version that comes from
SUSE RPM
repository; it's community edition.You could check that with (shell, not SQL) command
rpm -q mysql
. The name of the package might actually containmysqlXX-community-release-...
to confirm that.
