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()

How to get ODBC working with MSDE

Hi,
yes thanks .. but I did figure that out by myself.
SQLServer is running, I am able to osql on it ...
but ODBC refuses connectivity.
Maybe I just forgot something else.

You could checkout if your network protocols are on or not. OSQL may be
using shared memory connection here so it may be working properly.
