You could find a hint in the installation directory or its contents. The JDBC interface may be able to report its own version, but it's not necessarily the same version as the server. Gstat -h will tell you the ODS version by opening the file without making a connection, but that's not the same as the server version either. The authoritative answer to "which server version?" comes from the server. Good luck, Ann [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
