postgresqlHow do I get the version of PostgreSQL installed on my system?
The version of PostgreSQL installed on your system can be obtained by using the psql command.
psql --version
Output example
psql (PostgreSQL) 10.12
The psql command is used to connect to a PostgreSQL database, and it also provides several options to obtain information about the PostgreSQL installation. The --version option prints the version of the PostgreSQL server.
The version of PostgreSQL can also be obtained by using the SELECT version() statement.
SELECT version();
Output example
PostgreSQL 10.12 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (GCC) 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-39), 64-bit
The SELECT version() statement returns the version of the PostgreSQL server, the operating system, and the compiler used to build the server.
To summarize, the version of PostgreSQL installed on your system can be obtained by using the psql --version command or the SELECT version() statement.
