Hi.

 I think the simpliest solution is
  Either
  Ask your DBA to

     "GRANT SELECT ON SYS.V$DATABASE TO PUBLIC;"
     In you SP - make a select from it.

  Or
  if you can not do it - ask DBA to write a SP that   makes a SELECT and returns database name.   Ask him to GRANT EXECUTE ON <sp> TO PUBLIC;

  HTH. Michael.
  P.S. In my place we have a lot of users with access

       rights to V$....
