Summary: Where can I find a reference to SQL Server file version numbers?
Background: I'm moving a corporate website from a Win2003 Server with an install of SqlServer 2000 to a WinServer 2008 box with SqlServer 2008. I did the standard T-SQL "CREATE DATABASE" followed by "RESTORE DATABASE" commands and my database file imported, but I got a lot of info in the process I don't understand:

I can only presume the version numbers refer to something of significance inside of SqlServer, but I'm having trouble believing that there have been that many releases/patches/upgrades to SqlServer since 2000. Moreover, I don't recall ever seeing SQL Server version numbers expressed in three digits in the ranges indicated.

In SQL Server Data Tools, open the project or connect to the database that contains the data source view in which you want to browse data. In Solution Explorer, expand the Data Source Views folder, and then double-click the data source view.
Jonathan Kehayias in his blog quotes the following version numbers:
SQL Server 7.0 databases have version number 515 SQL Server 2000 databases have version number 539 SQL Server 2005 databases have version number 611/612 SQL Server 2008 databases have version number 655

According to Paul Randal , who should know, this is the physical version number of the database. See the first question in this TechNet magazine link

Edit:
you can get similar info by running
DBCC TRACEON (3604);
GO
DBCC DBINFO('databasename')
GO
I'm still looking for a definitive list though........
