How do I get only the SQL Server release version?

select @@version

retrieves the full information, in my case :

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (RTM) – 10.50.1617.0 (X64) Apr 22 2011 19:23:43 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation Developer Edition
(64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 (Build 7601: Service Pack 1)

I need only Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2.

    How about:

    SELECT 
    SERVERPROPERTY('Edition'),
    SERVERPROPERTY('ProductVersion')

    I get this output:

    Developer Edition (64-bit)  10.50.2500.0

    Based on the ProductVersion , you could do a “translation” to a human-readable SQL Server version name…

    11.xx   --> SQL Server 2012
10.50.  --> SQL Server 2008 R2
10.00.  --> SQL Server 2008
09.xx   --> SQL Server 2005

    etc.
