database name available within models

[eluser]alive[/eluser]
Is there a way to have access to the current database name (set up in database.php) in a model? I can always load the database config file, but it seems like so obvious a need that there's probably already an easier way I'm not aware of. Something like a

Code:

$this->db->name

variable or a function tucked neatly away in the database class.

Any help to offer?

Works like a charm. Thanks. Is that in the User Guide? If not, where does one find little treats like that?

Not in the documentation anywhere I've seen... I just searched system/database for mysql_select_db.
