It would be helpful if the database version number could be shown in the database connection properties in ArcGIS Pro (or a similar location). For example: Oracle 18c.

I'm aware that I can query the database directly for that information using an SQL client. But not all computers/users have an SQL client. So it would be better if we could see that information right in ArcGIS Pro.

Example use case: The user needs to know what the database version is so that they can know what SQL will be valid when writing a definition query, query layer, etc.

Could that functionality be added?

Thanks.

You can see this currently in the ".sde" connection file properties, under the "Upgrade Status" section:

*Note - I also tested with a non-SDE connection file and was able to see the same thing.

Is that what you are looking for?

Updated - I am using Pro 3.0.3

@George_Thompson 11.0.0.3.0 looks like the geodatabase version number, not the PosrgreSQL database version number. 

I’m looking for the database version number, such as PostgreSQL 13.6 or Oracle 18c.

Ah, ok. Thanks for that clarification.

I have not seen that one in the connection properties. That would be a great enhancement request to add.
