For SQL Server 2000 and above  I prefer the following parsing of Joe s answer   declare  sqlVers numeric 4 2  select  sqlVers   left cast serverproperty  productversion   as varchar   4    Gives results as follows    Result   Server Version 8 00     SQL 2000 9 00     SQL 2005 10 00    SQL 2008 10 50    SQL 2008R2 11 00    SQL 2012 12 00    SQL 2014   Basic list of version numbers here  or exhaustive list from Microsoft here

The KB article linked in Joe s post is great for determining which service packs have been installed for any version   Along those same lines  this KB article maps version numbers to specific hotfixes and cumulative updates  but it only applies to SQL05 SP2 and up

Try   SELECT   VERSION    or for SQL Server 2000 and above the following is easier to parse      SELECT SERVERPROPERTY  productversion          SERVERPROPERTY  productlevel          SERVERPROPERTY  edition     From  http   support microsoft com kb 321185

I know this is an older post but I updated the code found in the link  which is dead as of 2013-12-03  mentioned in the answer posted by Matt Rogish   DECLARE  ver nvarchar 128  SET  ver   CAST serverproperty  ProductVersion   AS nvarchar  SET  ver   SUBSTRING  ver  1  CHARINDEX       ver  - 1   IF    ver    7       SELECT  SQL Server 7  ELSE IF    ver    8       SELECT  SQL Server 2000  ELSE IF    ver    9       SELECT  SQL Server 2005  ELSE IF    ver    10       SELECT  SQL Server 2008 2008 R2  ELSE IF    ver    11       SELECT  SQL Server 2012  ELSE IF    ver    12       SELECT  SQL Server 2014  ELSE IF    ver    13       SELECT  SQL Server 2016  ELSE IF    ver    14       SELECT  SQL Server 2017  ELSE    SELECT  Unsupported SQL Server Version

If all you want is the major version for T-SQL reasons  the following gives you the year of the SQL Server version for 2000 or later   SELECT left ltrim replace   Version  Microsoft SQL Server       4   This code gracefully handles the extra spaces and tabs for various versions of SQL Server
