SQL SERVER – Introduction to SERVERPROPERTY and example

SERVERPROPERTY is very interesting system function. It returns many of the system values. I use it very frequently to get different server values like Server Collation, Server Name etc.

Run following script to see all the properties of server.
SELECT 'BuildClrVersion' ColumnName, SERVERPROPERTY('BuildClrVersion') ColumnValue
UNION ALL
SELECT 'Collation', SERVERPROPERTY('Collation')
UNION ALL
SELECT 'CollationID', SERVERPROPERTY('CollationID')
UNION ALL
SELECT 'ComparisonStyle', SERVERPROPERTY('ComparisonStyle')
UNION ALL
SELECT 'ComputerNamePhysicalNetBIOS', SERVERPROPERTY('ComputerNamePhysicalNetBIOS')
UNION ALL
SELECT 'Edition', SERVERPROPERTY('Edition')
UNION ALL
SELECT 'EditionID', SERVERPROPERTY('EditionID')
UNION ALL
SELECT 'EngineEdition', SERVERPROPERTY('EngineEdition')
UNION ALL

SELECT 'IsClustered', SERVERPROPERTY('IsClustered')
UNION ALL
