Usage

You may use this element to identify the specific database to which the data applies.

For applications that are not using DB2 Connect™ to connect to a host or System i® database server, you can use this element in conjunction with the db_path monitor element to uniquely identify the database and help relate the different levels of information provided by the monitor.

When returned with information about memory pools with MON_GET_MEMORY_POOL, the value for this monitor element is NULL for memory pools defined at the instance level. Otherwise, the value returned is the name of the database for which the pool is defined.
