Find out which version of SQL Server 2005 or 2008 is installed in the machine

So, blogging after a super long hibernation. Good to be back!
I was trying to install SP3 for SQL Server 2005 and it kept failing on me. Got so frustrated until I found this nifty little query that does just that. Gives the version of SQL Server installed. 🙂
Here it is!
SELECT @@VERSION
GO

SELECT SERVERPROPERTY(‘productversion’), SERVERPROPERTY (‘productlevel’), SERVERPROPERTY (‘edition’)

So there ya go!

Have fun!
