Re: [Monetdb-developers] [Monetdb-sql-checkins] sql/src/backends/monet4 sql_server.mx, , 1.169, 1.170

Ok, before we start changing these things back and forth: Anyone else who has an opinion on how M4 (server), M5 (server), SQL4, SQL5, XQuery(4) should reveal their version numbers at startup-/module-loading time, and whether the differences between M4 & M5 should/need to be increased by having different/non-aligned/"inconsistend" welcome messages?

Face it. The architecture is inconsistent. In M4 your "on port " message was sort of correct and useful, while on M5 this is incorrect/irrelevant.

Scripts that parse commentary lines are doomed to fail.

Because if you use auto-sensing, then the port may be something else. Something that M5 + Sabaoth + Merovingian heavily depends on. That's why Sabaoth now prints the connection that actually is used on M5 to do the equivalence of Stefan's original "on port %d" message.
