5.5.03 OR 5.5.04 ?

I've just installed the 5.5.04 maint release. On opening my database
(created in 5.5), its properties state that the version is 5.5.03.

As many have no doubt upgraded to 5.5.04, could someone pls advise if
this is 'correct' behaviour?

Many thanks in advance

Where are you viewing the properties?

Using explorer, look at the properties of dbeng50.exe (or dbsrv50.exe).  What does the version
property say?

What version appears in the engine window when the engine is started?

Thanks Leo, 

On the engine window itself it is in fact correct (5504). If you check
out database properties thru SQL Central, it still shows as 5503!

I think that that value indicates the version used to initialize the database. 

Create a new db using 5504 and see what db properties come up for it. 

Reagards,

Oddly, a new db still shows ver 5503. Personally, I'd say that the
Sybase programmers forgot to upgrade the version variable between
release 3 and 4 of 5.5. Not to worry, have to remember to look in the db
engine window, thats all. Thanx.

Not exactly true.
The version number reported in the database is the database format version.
Since this report 5.5.03 this means the internal database format has not
changed since then.

Prior to 5.5.03, I believe it said 5.0.03 since that was the last format
change.

The version number is used internally and is only updated when the software
requires it, not for each release.
