当你接手某个mysql数据库管理时，首先你需要查看维护的mysql数据库版本；当开发人员问你mysql数据库版本时，而恰好你又遗忘了，那么此时也需要去查看mysql数据库的版本..............。下文总结一下Linux平台下查看mysql数据库的方法.个人觉得总结的比较全面了。

方法1：登录数据库时，你可以看到对应mysql数据库的版本信息，如下所示：

[root@DB-Server ~]# mysql -u root -p

Enter password:

Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.

Your MySQL connection id is 3

Server version: 5.6.19 MySQL Community Server (GPL)

owners.

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input statement.

mysql>

方法二：使用系统函数查看mysql数据库版本。

mysql> select version();

+-----------+

| version() |

+-----------+

| 5.6.19 |

+-----------+

1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select @@version;

+-----------+

| @@version |

+-----------+

| 5.6.19 |

+-----------+

1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql>

方法3：使用status命令查看,如下所示，查看Server version后内容。

mysql> status

方法4：使用mysql -V命令查看

[root@DB-Server ~]# mysql -V

mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.6.19, for Linux (x86_64) using EditLine wrapper

[root@DB-Server ~]# mysql --version

mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.6.19, for Linux (x86_64) using EditLine wrapper

方法5：在mysql --help命令内容中查找

[root@DB-Server ~]# mysql --help | grep Distrib

mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.6.19, for Linux (x86_64) using EditLine wrapper

方法6：通过rpm命令查看安装包得知mysql数据库版本

[root@DB-Server ~]# rpm -qa | grep -i mysql

MySQL-client-5.6.19-1.rhel5

MySQL-server-5.6.19-1.rhel5

[root@DB-Server ~]#

方法7：SHOW VARIABLES 命令查看

mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE "%version%";

+-------------------------+------------------------------+

| Variable_name | Value |

+-------------------------+------------------------------+

| innodb_version | 5.6.19 |

| protocol_version | 10 |

| slave_type_conversions | |

| version | 5.6.19 |

| version_comment | MySQL Community Server (GPL) |

| version_compile_machine | x86_64 |

| version_compile_os | Linux |

+-------------------------+------------------------------+

7 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql>

方法8： mysqladmin -uroot -p -hlocalhost version 命令查看mysql数据库版本。其实这个方法也可以归为方法1

[root@DB-Server ~]# mysqladmin -uroot -p -hlocalhost version;

Enter password:

mysqladmin Ver 8.42 Distrib 5.6.19, for Linux on x86_64
