Checking the GaussDB (DWS) Version

GaussDB(DWS) has a cluster version number and a database kernel version number. The cluster version number is generated when a DBA or R&D representative creates a GaussDB (DWS) cluster on the Huawei Cloud console, and is hardly used. Generally, you only need to pay attention to the database kernel version, behavior changes, SQL syntax, keywords, functions, and views.

A GaussDB(DWS) cluster version matches a database kernel version. The following table lists the versions.

This document describes the changes in the database kernel version. For details about the changes in the cluster management plane, see What's New.

Querying the Cluster Version

  1. Log in to the GaussDB(DWS) console. In the navigation pane, Choose Clusters.

  2. In the cluster list, find the target cluster and click the cluster name. The Basic Information tab is displayed.

    The cluster version is 8.1.3.110.

Querying the Database Kernel Version

  • Method 1: Query the cluster version by referring to Querying the Cluster Version and find the corresponding database kernel version in Table 1.
  • Method 2: Connect to the DWS database. Run the following SQL statement:
    1
    select version();
