Re: Retrieving the default database name

Thank you Peter!

I guess I should have been more specific. The most basic "default" database name might reside in one ini file or another. But it is not what I am looking for.

I am using MySQL from a (Perl) application. There I am using many subroutines and packages that set the various attributes passed to the DBI "connect" method. Also, I later switch databases based on a user's input by executing a "USE 'DB_name'" SQL statement.

What I am after is a way to debug my application and/or log a particular run to verify what was eventually selected as the "default database name" at a given juncture. A bug there might be devastating....

Well, I guess I'll have to find another way. Or is there a way after all?

Regards,
Meir
