How to get the name of the database currently connected to?

I have an application which connects to a sql server database thru a SQL
Server ODBC driver. In the application, I have a database componenet with
its aliasname name set to the name of the ODBC driver. I have several
databses on the server and I need to know if I can get the actual name of
the database I am connecting to?Sam,
Try:
SELECT DB_NAME()
