getDBVersion

This procedure returns the database version number from the database sequence initial value. The sequence name must match the naming convention, seq_<dblogical>_dbversion, for example, seq_icfdb_dbversion. If a sequence with this name is not found for a passed-in database, the version number is returned as 000000.

The ERwin model has a UDP, called DBVersion, that causes this sequence to be created and updated with the correct value when a delta file is generated.
