PostgreSQL: Which version of PostgreSQL am I running?

Question

I\'m in a corporate environment (running Debian Linux) and didn\'t install it myself. I access the databases using Navicat or phpPgAdmin (if that helps). I also don\'t have

The accepted answer is great, but if you need to interact programmatically with PostgreSQL version maybe it's better to do:

SELECT current_setting('server_version_num'); -- Returns 90603 (9.6.3)
-- Or using SHOW command:
SHOW server_version_num; -- Returns 90603 too

It will return server version as an integer. This is how server version is tested in PostgreSQL source, e.g.:

/*
 * This is a C code from pg_dump source.
 * It will do something if PostgreSQL remote version (server) is lower than 9.1.0
 */
if (fout->remoteVersion < 90100)
    /*
     * Do something...
     */
