Returns property information about the server instance.
Transact-SQL Syntax Conventions
SERVERPROPERTY ( 'propertyname' )
Important
The database engine version numbers for SQL Server and Azure SQL Database are not comparable with each other, and rather are internal build numbers for these separate products. The database engine for Azure SQL Database is based on the same code base as the SQL Server database engine. Most importantly, the database engine in Azure SQL Database always has the newest SQL database engine bits. Version 12 of Azure SQL Database is newer than version 15 of SQL Server.
propertyname
Is an expression that contains the property information to be returned for the server. propertyname can be one of the following values.
| Property | Values returned |
|---|---|
| BuildClrVersion | Version of the [!INCLUDEmsCoName][!INCLUDEdnprdnshort] common language runtime (CLR) that was used while building the instance of [!INCLUDEssNoVersion]. NULL = Input is not valid, an error, or not applicable. Base data type: nvarchar(128) |

The ServerName property of the SERVERPROPERTY function and @@SERVERNAME return similar information. The ServerName property provides the Windows server and instance name that together make up the unique server instance. @@SERVERNAME provides the currently configured local server name.
The ServerName property and @@SERVERNAME return the same information if the default server name at the time of installation has not been changed. The local server name can be configured by executing the following:
EXEC sp_dropserver 'current_server_name';
GO
EXEC sp_addserver 'new_server_name', 'local';
GO If the local server name has been changed from the default server name at installation time, @@SERVERNAME returns the new name.
The SERVERPROPERTY function returns individual properties that relate to the version information whereas the @@VERSION function combines the output into one string. If your application requires individual property strings, you can use the SERVERPROPERTY function to return them instead of parsing the @@VERSION results.
All users can query the server properties.
The following example uses the SERVERPROPERTY function in a SELECT statement to return information about the current instance of [!INCLUDEssNoVersion_md].
SELECT
SERVERPROPERTY('MachineName') AS ComputerName,
SERVERPROPERTY('ServerName') AS InstanceName,
SERVERPROPERTY('Edition') AS Edition,
SERVERPROPERTY('ProductVersion') AS ProductVersion,
SERVERPROPERTY('ProductLevel') AS ProductLevel;
GO
