Clever!
You may also be able to access it programmatically via these fields:
_DbStatus._DbStatus-ShmVers
_DbStatus._DbStatus-SharedMemVer
I don't know though whether they reflect the database as it was originally created, or as it is currently running - the latter I would imagine.
Perhaps someone can clarify.
ps. Of course, bulklodd's is better as it doesn't require DB connection.
