Confilct in SQL Server version


I know that SELECT @@version gets the version of server.

But when SSMS booting, it shows SQL Server 2014.

As per Antonio Campagnaro's answer, I got more confusion. See below image

Solution

  • SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio) is a program that can connect to a sql server instance. If you need to know what SSMS you are using you can find it in Help -> About..

    If you need to know what sql server instance version you are using you can query SELECT @@VERSION

    SSMS and sql server doesn't need to be the same version, but SSMS need to be higher than sql server

    Other way to get sql server version
