Impromptu - which database am I using?
- Thread starter MadJim

MadJim,
The Impromptu Insert Object menu allows you to insert a database name. This name is the logical database name, as defined within Impromtpu. SQL Server, if I remember correctly, adds a database-specific function that returns the true physical database name. Oracle does not. I do not know about other RDBMS platforms.
Hope this helps,
