How about one of these:
Select @@VERSION
Or
Select getdate() as CurrentDate
I would rather use:
SELECT CURRENT_DATE
since CURRENT_DATE (no parenthesis) is standard SQL, I am not aware if this suffers the same problems as SELECT 1 on Oracle.
Another function is COUNT(), and if that is not present on a system...
