Easy SQL Server Version Identification

I know about @.@.version and SERVERPROPERTY, but I am looking for a query that will determine between SQL Server 2000 and 2005. I need to write an if/then statement and don't want to have to add all of the 9.xxx.xx versions for 2005 and keep that updated with each hotfix that comes out.

Use the following query..

Tested in all the versions..

Code Snippet

Declare @.version as Varchar(10);

Set @.version = Cast(serverproperty('ProductVersion') as Varchar)

if charindex('10.',@.version) = 1

Print 'It is SQL Server 2008'

if charindex('9.',@.version) =1

Print 'It is SQL Server 2005'

if charindex('8.',@.version) =1

Print 'It is SQL Server 2000'

|||The final query looked like this...thanks for your help.

IF CONVERT(char(1),SERVERPROPERTY('ProductVersion'))>='9' --pre SQL 2005
BEGIN
DECLARE @.Server [nchar] (100)
SET @.Server = (CONVERT(char(100), (SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('Servername'))))

INSERT INTO [tempdb].[dbo].[User_Auditing] (Server, UserName, WinAuth, SQL_Auth_UserName, PassPolicyOn)
SELECT @.Server, s.name, isntuser, q.name, is_policy_checked
FROM sys.syslogins s FULL OUTER JOIN sys.sql_logins q
ON (s.name = q.name)
END
