How to list the version number of an assembly and in which database it exists

    Folks,

    Is it possible to programmatically (using T-SQL) to list all the assemblies on my server (different db's) with the associated version numbers ? The idea is to make sure all the assemblies are at the same version in our system. Currently I can double-click each assembly and get the version number , but it is somewhat tedious.

    you could query sys.assemblies;

    i'm sticking the results in a global temp table for ease of reporting, for example:

    CREATE TABLE [dbo].[##RESULTS] (

    [DBNAME] NVARCHAR(128) NULL,

    [ASSEMBLYNAME] SYSNAME NOT NULL,

    [ASSEMBLYVERSION] NVARCHAR(4000) NULL)

    EXECUTE sp_msForEachdb 'INSERT INTO ##RESULTS select ''?'' As dbName,name As AssemblyName,clr_name as AssemblyVersion from [?].sys.assemblies '

    SELECT * FROM [##RESULTS]

    ORDER BY [ASSEMBLYNAME],[ASSEMBLYVERSION],[DBNAME]
