In a portable manner:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/sql/DatabaseMetaData.html#getDatabaseProductName()
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/sql/DatabaseMetaData.html#getDatabaseProductVersion()

Althout that will not return the information "compiled by..." as the suggested
"select version()" does
