Answer 2

Run this query from PostgreSQL:

SELECT version();

Answer 3

If Select version() returns with Memo try using the command this way:

Select version::char(100) 

or

Select version::varchar(100)

Answer 4

Don’t know how reliable this is, but you can get two tokens of version fully automatically:

psql --version 2>&1 | tail -1 | awk '{print $3}' | sed 's/\./ /g' | awk '{print $1 "." $2}'

So you can build paths to binaries:

/usr/lib/postgresql/9.2/bin/postgres

Just replace 9.2 with this command.

Answer 5

in shell psql.exe , execute

\! psql -V
