That's only if it is a database field. Are people really writing the VRM into the database? (This is a serious question) What for?

I don't think a database field is necessary. In fact, it seems like a waste.

I think I was unclear. "Are people writing the VRM to the datase?" is my question. The follow up things about a database field not being necessary is written from the point of view of how to find out what VRM you are running on, not how to write to disk somewhere. IOW, I'm suggesting what IBM could do to tell us the VRM, not what we could do to write it down.
