To select the Oracle database name, the most common method is:
SELECT name FROM v$database
This, however, requires special permissions. The database name is part of the session context and can be selected using the following function:
SELECT sys_context('USERENV', 'DB_NAME') FROM dual
When used as part of a larger query, this does not need to join the v$database pseudo table.
This is particularly useful in packaged solutions like PeopleSoft.
