Programmatically detect SQL Server Edition

问题:

I'm using C# with SMO and attempting to detect what edition of SQL Server (e.g., enterprise, standard) I'm connecting to. I know how to get the version information, but that only tells me what version of SQL Server (e.g., SQL Server 2008 vs SQL Server 2005).

Does anyone know how to get the actual product edition (e.g., enterprise, standard)?

I need this information because some SQL Server features are only enterprise. Thus, I could just try to call them and catch the exception, but I'd much prefer an upfront detection.

Thanks!

It looks like you might be able to do it via SMO and the Server object. There are properties like Information.Edition which looks like it should do what you want.

回答2:

SELECT  SERVERPROPERTY('productversion'), 
        SERVERPROPERTY ('productlevel'), 
        SERVERPROPERTY ('edition')

on my system returns

9.00.1399.06, RTM, Express Edition

It seems this technique only works on SQL Server 2000 or later, if any of your databases are 7.0 or less, you'll have to use @@Version and manipulate the results as others have posted

I've always used @@Version (eg. SELECT @@Version and manipluted the result in code), but this article looks pretty handy; http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321185

The only issue with using SERVERPROPERTY, as per the link... is that this won't work with older version of SQL Server.

select @@version

Returns version and which edition. Here:

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.4035.00 (Intel X86) 
    Nov 24 2008 13:01:59 
    Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation
    Developer Edition on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 2)

Check the registry. This question had a good method you could adapt from the PowerShell script:
