Thread: review printing ecpg program version

hi,

I found a little problem about printing ecpg version.

unlike PostgreSQL ver.11 other programs, ecpg version string has only 
version number.


$ ./ecpg --version
ecpg 11beta3

$ ./psql --version
psql (PostgreSQL) 11beta3

$ ./pg_dump --version
pg_dump (PostgreSQL) 11beta3

I hope PostgreSQL product name be included in ecpg version string,

It will clarify version between other products (ex. EnterpriseDB 
Postgres, GP, ...)


Regards, Ioseph.

check please pg_config --version too.

Well, one problem with that is that you would break a ton of stuff which
parse this version string automatically.  pg_config --version is used by
many extensions to guess which version of Postgres is being worked on.

ok, in case pg_config, ignore this, but It should be review in case ecpg.

Thanks Peter for jumping in the ship.  What you did looks correct to
me.
