Retrieve DataBlade module version information

This section shows how to obtain precise version information that you might need to fully understand dependency and compatibility requirements or to identify problems to technical support staff.

Use the etx_Release() function to return version information for the module. The information returned by this function includes:
  • The version of the installed DataBlade® module
  • The date the installed DataBlade module was compiled
  • The full version of the database server with which the DataBlade module was compiled
  • The version of the GLS library with which the DataBlade module was compiled
  • The version of the Excalibur Text Retrieval Library (TRL) with which the DataBlade module was compiled
Use the EXECUTE FUNCTION command to execute the etx_Release() function, as shown in the following example:
EXECUTE FUNCTION etx_Release();

The HCL OneDB™ Text Descriptor DataBlade Module has an equivalent function: txt_Release().
