This obvious question has two possible answers as I see it: 1. All. Any database you're connected to contains the data Jim suggests in its rdb$databases "virtual table" (view?). 2. None. This whole thing is better suited for an API than a system table/view. And possibly a third answer: 3. Some other system wide database. The security database would be an option, but it seems a bit odd. So, the suggested aliases.fdb might be an option. But, all things considered, I feel that the feature is too complicated and has too many security implications to be worth it. If anything, I might suggest that the alias config that's already present could be augmented with a flag for each alias specifying if it should be available for browsing or not (default = no). Those marked as available for browsing could be accessible via an API function for that specific purpose.
