database version #s don't match the version # of the DB Admin?

Question

why don't the database version #s match the version # of the DB Admin? 
 It's confusing to users, IT people, etc.

Hi Char, 
 There&rsquo;s a software version. This is the version of the code. 
 There&rsquo;s a database version. This is the version of the database schema. 
 The software version and the database version are two different things and are revved independently of each other. 
 An update to the software (a new release) may, or may not, have a new database version &ndash; that just depends on whether the database schema has changed since the last release. 
 A specific software version &ldquo;has&rdquo; a specific database version, but the reverse is not true; a specific database version may live across several software versions. 
 Let me know if you have any questions. 
 Thank you,
