Version number rules

This topic describes the version number rules and their meanings for OceanBase Database Proxy (ODP).

The features and capabilities of different ODP versions may vary significantly. Therefore, you need to identify the ODP version that meets your requirements to obtain accurate documentation information.

The version of ODP is represented as V.x.y.z.f, where:

• x indicates the major version. This version typically involves architecture upgrades or the release of significant new features.

• y indicates the planned iteration version. This version is part of the normal iteration plan and includes important feature or capability updates and improvements.

• z indicates the release update version. This version includes minor feature or capability updates and fixes for known issues.

• f indicates the patch upgrade version. The fourth digit of the version number is used when a feature or fix requires an increase in the version number.

View the version

After you install ODP, you can use one of the following three methods to determine its version:

1. The directory of a new version of ODP contains the version number. For example, the directory name obproxy-4.0.0 indicates that the ODP version is 4.0.0.

2. In the home directory of ODP, execute the ./bin/obproxy -V command to view the version. For example, V3.2.3.

   [admin@test obproxy]# ./bin/obproxy -V
   ./bin/obproxy -V
   obproxy (OceanBase 3.2.3 2)

3. Log in to ODP as root@proxysys and execute the show proxyinfo binary command to view the version. For example, V4.0.0.
