I use the following to extract the version number. But it throws an error on
newer version 5.xx.  It works on version 4.0 and below.

SELECT SUBSTRING(VERSION(),1,LOCATE("-",VERSION())-1) AS VERSION

On version 5.0.1-alpha-nt-log I get an error...
Illegal mix of collations
(utf8_general_ci,IMPLICIT)and(latin1_SWEEDIH_CI,coercible) for operation
'locate'

Is this problem by design?
