Comment (by johnbillion):

 In my Query Monitor plugin I switched to using `$wpdb->db_server_info()`
 instead of `$wpdb->db_version()` a long time ago because of the parsing
 problems with some version numbers. `SELECT VERSION()` is used as a
 fallback if the value is empty, which I did see once.

 I also use the `get_class( $dbh )` method to get a name that's generally
 going to be representative of the database driver. It operates on the
 handler class so it shouldn't matter if there's a database dropin class in
 use.
