I am talking about sql server here.
I can connect to azure. I can also manage permissions.
But while doing some automation, I need to know if I am in azure or normal sql. how can I achieve that?
I have been using the @@version. However, it is said it is not accurate.
One option could be EngineEdition .
Try:
SELECT CASE ServerProperty('EngineEdition') WHEN 1 THEN 'Personal' WHEN 2 THEN 'Standard' WHEN 3 THEN 'Enterprise' WHEN 4 THEN 'Express' WHEN 5 THEN 'SQL Database' WHEN 6 THEN 'Azure Synapse Analytics' WHEN 8 THEN 'Azure SQL Managed Instance' WHEN 9 THEN 'Azure SQL Edge' WHEN 11 THEN 'Azure Synapse serverless SQL pool' END Note. There are different ways of getting the SQL Server version on the link above using SERVERPROPERTY.
Another simpler method:
SELECT CASE WHEN ServerProperty('Edition') = 'SQL Azure' THEN 'Azure' ELSE 'No Azure' END AS server_version; https://dbfiddle.uk/?rdbms=sqlserver_2019&fiddle=c10db6e4d5def947657b780ede48fee1
at the moment July/2022 I am using the following script. I have a few machines in azure, and sql server 2016,2017 and 2019.
set nocount on DECLARE @version varchar(20) SELECT @version = convert(varchar, serverproperty('ProductVersion')) IF @version NOT LIKE '[0-9][0-9].%' SELECT @version = '0' + @version PRINT @version IF @version < '09.00.3042' RAISERROR('dbo.sp_showADGroups requires SQL Server 2005 SP2 or later', 16, 127) select [version is] = @version, @@VERSION SELECT @Version=left(@Version,2) SELECT [@Version]=@Version IF @VERSION = '12' PRINT 'We are in Azure' ELSE PRINT 'Not Azure' SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('EngineEdition') --this returns 8 in azure -- this returns 2 in sql 2019 --this returns 3 in sql 2016 the query above returns the following - in azure:
