How to determine the version of SQL Server 7.0 running

To determine the version of the running SQL Server 7.0, use the query analyzer to connect to SQL Server 7.0 and run the following code: Select @ version
The running result is similar to the following: Microsoft SQL Server 7.00-7.00.623 (Intel x86)
Nov 27 22:20:07 1998
Copyright (c) 1988-1998 Microsoft Corporation
Desktop edition on Windows NT 5.1 (build 2600 :)
Note: In this example, the version number is 7.00.623.

Use the version number in the following table to identify the product level or service pack level:
Service Pack
7.00.1063 SQL Server 7.0 Service Pack 4 (SP4)
7.00.961 SQL Server 7.0 Service Pack 3 (SP3)

If the version number of the @ Version Report is not listed in this table, the running SQL Server has installed the fix.ProgramOr securely update the internal version of the program. For example, if the @ Version Report version is 7.00.859, you are running SQL Server 7.0 SP2 with the fix installed. The version number of each new version of sqlservr.exe executable file is increased. For more information, see the readme.txt file of the hotfix or security update program.
