Is there a way to request and install a version of Vertica?

Question

I was looking for Vertica documentation for version keywords and version numbers. But I could not really mention the SQL query to select the version of Vertica. I thought there would be some kind of system table with some version information, but could not find it.

Can't get Vertica version using SQL query? Or can you only access the version by logging into the Vertica host and checking some directory?

It can be found here: https://my.vertica.com/docs/6.1.x/HTML/index.htm#9158.htm

db=> SELECT VERSION(); VERSION ------------------------------------ Vertica Analytic Database v6.1.2-0 (1 row)
