The Driver Manager on UNIX and Linux has a version string of the format:
XX.YY.ZZZZ(UBBBB)
The component for the Unicode conversion tables (ICU) has a version string of the format:
XX.YY.ZZZZ
where:
XX is the major version of the product.
YY is the minor version of the product.
ZZZZ is the build number of the driver or ICU component.
AAAA is the build number of the driver's bas component.
BBBB is the build number of the driver's utl component.
For example:
08.00.0002 (b0001, u0002)

On Windows, you can check the version string through the properties of the driver DLL. Right-click the driver DLL and select Properties. The Properties dialog box appears. On the Version tab, click File Version in the Other version information list box.
You can always check the version string of a driver on Windows by looking at the About tab of the driver’s Setup dialog.
On UNIX and Linux, you can check the version string by using the test loading tool shipped with the product. This tool, ivtestlib for 32-bit drives and ddtestlib for 64-bit drivers, is located in install_directory/bin.
The syntax for the tool is:
ivtestlib shared_object
or
ddtestlib shared_object
For example, for the 32-bit driver on Linux:
ivtestlib ivhive28.so
returns:
08.00.0001 (B0002, U0001)
For example, for the Driver Manager on Linux:
ivtestlib libodbc.so
returns:
08.00.0001 (U0001)
For example, for the 64-bit Driver Manager on Linux:
ddtestlib libodbc.so
returns:
08.00.0001 (U0001)
For example, for 32-bit ICU component on Linux:
ivtestlib libivicu28.so
08.00.0001
Note: Only the HP-UX version of the tool requires specifying the full path for the test loading tool. The full path does not need to be specified for other platforms.
