To query the version information of a MySQL database, you can execute the following SQL query:

SELECT VERSION();

This SQL query will retrieve the version number of the current MySQL database. Upon execution, you will see a version number similar to 5.7.35, indicating the MySQL version you are using.

Additionally, you can obtain more detailed version information by using the following command:

SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'version%';

This allows you to view more detailed information about the MySQL version, such as compilation options and release version.
