Confluence now has a "submit support request" feature, whereby it submits an email with the user's question, and all the system info to help diagnosis. This system info include the following about the database:
Database Dialect: net.sf.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect
Database Connection URL: jdbc:hsqldb:/Users/pcurren/Atlassian/data/confluence/trunk/database/confluencedb
Database Driver Name: org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver
Database Driver Version: 1.8
Database connection transaction isolation: None
It would be nice if this also included the actual database version. Sometimes we really need to know if they're using Oracle 9 or 10, and it's generally useful to know when, eg. customers stop using old versions of databases (eg. MySQL 4.0).
From JDBC one can obtain both the database version and JDBC driver version. Eg (from a JIRA auto-support-request):
Database version: 5.0.32-Debian_7etch1-log
Database JNDI address: java:comp/env/jdbc/JiraDS
Database driver: MySQL-AB JDBC Driver mysql-connector-java-5.0.5 ( $Date: 2007-03-01 00:01:06 +0100 (Thu, 01 Mar 2007) $, $Revision: 6329 $ )
