Hello,
  Can anyone tell me if there is an ANSI standard SQL statement which   can be executed that will identify the database vendor? I know this   is probably just a shot in the dark, but I was hoping I won't have   to do something like selecting a single colmn from one of the system   tables and then checking for an error code or number of rows returned.

  Thanks in advance!
