Hi Guys,

I'd like to see a better means to identify a Drizzle/MySQL instance when
connected to it.

My situation is a client with many (100s) of production databases, some with
multiple instances, and you can never tell when connected to the instance,
any specifics of it's purpose for example.

Oracle has the concept of ORACLE_SID  http://www.orafaq.com/wiki/ORACLE_SID

Ideally I'd like to see the capacity for multiple global variables that are
user definable, and that way it's possible to give greater flexibility to
implementer. The issue obviously is in managing the namespace.
Alternatively more complex solutions could be a custom I_S table of
name/value pairs, but ideally I'd like to see something that can integrate
easily into existing syntax and procedures.


Thoughts, anybody.  I'd appreciate some input before making a feature
request.

Ronald
