When running:

SHOW ENGINE PBXT STATUS\G
  Type: PBXT
  Name:
Status:
110215 20:25:41 PBXT 1.0.11-7 Pre-GA STATUS OUTPUT --> not similar

you can find the version of the PBXT SE.

The output of SHOW ENGINE is difficult to parse for applications. IMHO thus this way to expose information should be avoided.

Further MySQL and InnoDB/XtraDB are exposing this information with the following commmand:

SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES LIKE '%version%';
+-------------------------+---------------------------------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+-------------------------+---------------------------------+
| innodb_version | 1.0.13-11.6 |
| version | 5.2.4-MariaDB-log |
+-------------------------+---------------------------------+

Thus I would like to have it similar to those:

SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES LIKE '%version%';
+-------------------------+---------------------------------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+-------------------------+---------------------------------+
| pbxt_version | 1.0.11-7 |
+-------------------------+---------------------------------+
