Actually, that table has a history of not being fully modified during upgrade. If you have anolder version of ArcSDE that was upgraded from something even earlier, it's doubtful thatthe contents are correct.The definitive authority on ArcSDE version is the output of the SE_connection_get_releasefunction, which is what is exposed by the 'sdeping' utility of se_toolkit --C:\>sdeping -u ***** -p ***** -i sde_eval93
