You can compare sql schema with those provided with different RT release
tarball (in etc directory).

There are major release which can be "easily" identified this way (2.x,
3.0.x, 3.2.x, 3.4.x, 3.6.x) I think.

You can also try to see if the changes in etc/upgrade/*/* are applied to
schema (maybe easier).
