SQL returns the current timestamp from SELECT GETDATE()
and current database from SELECT DB_NAME()
and current database id from SELECT DB_ID()

I tried to find a list of other handy-dandy () items in B.O.L.
but I couldn't find one.

Are there a lot of these puppies? Anybody got a list?

have you tried
select MS_SQL_PUPPIES()

No, you're never too old to Yak'n'Roll if you're too young to die.

So is Books Online, it's installed in the same Start menu group as the other SQL Server programs.
