how to find version?

[bpalmer]

I'm trying to figure out what version of a source code I have. I know
it's a 7.2 release, but how can I find out of it's 7.2, 7.2.3, 7.2.4,
etc. FROM THE SOURCE CODE, not from compiling (it doesn't compile, it's
testing code).

Thanks

grep VERSION configure

I did try that, but I'm still having a "much" larger than expected diff
between the two code bases. *shrug* ok.

TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your
joining column's datatypes do not match

You should see a lines like this in configure.in

[lines 28-33 of configure.in for 7.2.4]

AC_PREREQ(2.13)
AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR(config)

VERSION='7.2.4'
AC_SUBST(VERSION)
AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(PG_VERSION, "$VERSION")

If the database is running it will tell you when you log into it with psql.
