How to find the name of the database currently used?

I am working on Microsoft SQL server management studio. I have 15 different databases under the Databases folder. All the databases have similar structure and tables. I wrote a query that will work on any database. However i want to know how can I find out the name of the currently used database, I want this to show in my result set. Please advise?

DB_NAME() method can get you the name of the current database. Answered by StuartLC.

Sounds like you need the DB_NAME() function.

It accepts an optional database_id parameter. If omitted it returns the name of the current database.
