| VERSION() |

| 10.4.7-MariaDB |
+----------------+
 
The VERSION() string may have one or more of the following
suffixes:
 
Suffix | Description | 
 
-embedded | The server is an embedded server (libmysqld). | 
 
-log | General logging, slow logging or binary (replication)
logging is enabled. | 
 
-debug | The server is compiled for debugging. | 
 
-valgrind |  The server is compiled to be instrumented with
valgrind. | 
 
Changing the Version String
 
Some old legacy code may break because they are parsing the
VERSION string and expecting a MySQL string or a simple
version
string like Joomla til API17, see MDEV-7780.
 
From MariaDB 10.2, one can fool these applications by
setting the version string from the command line or the
my.cnf files with --version=....
