How to Check MySQL Version on Command Line

You can check for your version of MySQL on the command line with the following:

# mysql –version
or
# mysql -V

I tried to search checking mysql version on the command line a couple times without success, so it’s going down here. The smart person would of course just read the mysql man page.

–version, -V
Display version information and exit.

    That’s not entirely correct.

    “mysql -version” or “mysql -V” show the version of the MySQL CLIENT and NOT the SERVER.

    To see the server version, after you have logged in to the MySQL, you can run the following SQL:
    SHOW VARIABLES LIKE “%version%”;
