serverInfo

Syntax

string[] serverInfo()

Description

The function returns an array with general information about the database server.

Key	Description
`version`	Database server's version number
`description`	Additional information about the database server

Additional, driver-specific keys may be present.

In portable applications, always set the fetch mode to ADODB_FETCH_NUM, as the associative key names are not the same across all databases.
