Way to get the database name

Hi, is there a way to get the database name without having to parse the database url? For instance, I would want to get "mydb" if using a url like this:
jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:mydb

Thanks!

Hi,
I am not sure waht you want to do bu....
You can get the JDBC connection like this:

Code:

session.connection();

The catalog name you can get by executing getCatalog();
on teh connection.

Good Luck

Thanks for the answer, but the problem is that connection.getCatalog() returns null in my case, when everything is properly configured. Are there any other alternatives?

Thanks,

Bruno
