How can I check the version of MySQL Server?

With the help of ‘mysqladmin’ program we would be able to know about the version of our MySQL server. To get the version we should have to write the following command on command line −

C:\mysql\bin>mysqladmin -u root version mysqladmin Ver 8.42 Distrib 5.7.20, for Win64 on x86_64 Copyright (c) 2000, 2017, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
