SQL Query Analyzer: How can I check database compatability mode?

Question

How can I check database compatability mode in query analyzer version 8?

Answer 1

Is this SQL Server 2000? If so:

SELECT cmptlevel FROM master..sysdatabases WHERE name = db_name()

For SQL Server 2005 and 2008, as per Mitch Wheat, i.e.:

SELECT compatibility_level 
    FROM sys.databases 
    WHERE name = db_name() 

In all versions, this works as well:

EXEC sp_dbcmptlevel '{insert name of your database here}'

Answer 2

select compatibility_level 
from sys.databases 
where name = db_name()
