DB2 Platform/Version details

Hi All,

I want to get the underlying DB2 platform details. If i connect using CLP, i get them :

Code:

db2 connect to testdb user testusr using testpwd

   Database Connection Information

 Database server        = DB2/LINUX 9.1.3
 SQL authorization ID   = TESTUSR
 Local database alias   = TESTDB

But, if I connect to the db using JDBC, how can I fetch the details? Is there some system table in DB2 where version/platform are stored (as in oracle)??
Thanks in anticipation

SELECT * FROM SYSIBMADM.ENV_SYS_INFO

Please keep in mind that this view is not available in versions before 9.1.

Any idea for version prior to 9.1? any generic query for all versions os db2?

Since you are using JDBC you can look into DatabaseMetaData, specifically the methods:

getDatabaseProductName()
getDatabaseProductVersion()

There is also a system table function similar to the view in 9.1 that has the same informaiton.
