4.2. Set the VDB Version

You can set the version in one of two ways: through the vdb.xml file, (which is useful for dynamic VDBs), or by specifying a naming convention in the deployment file (such as VDBNAME.VERSION.vdb). The deployer is responsible for choosing an appropriate version number. If there is already a VDB name and version combination that matches the current deployment, then connections to the previous VDB will be terminated and its cache entries will be flushed. Any new connections will then be made to the new VDB.
