Is there a SQL statement I can execute in db2 that will give me the name of the server the statement is hitting?

It would be the equivalent of "select @@servername" in mssql.

also, are there some catalog views I can go to get various other server configuration details? I found the SYSCAT.SERVEROPTIONS catalog view, but it has no rows in it on my server.

Thanks!

What about db2 "SELECT CURRENT SERVER FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1"

That returns the current SQLID. If you want the host name of the server, see this link:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infoce...n/r0012552.htm

excellent, thanks!

I think that gives the SERVER name of the local machine. CURRENT SQLID register would give the value of current sqlid right..? I Think if one has to find the SERVER name of the Remote database where the queries are executed then we need ot query the catalog SYIBM.SYSLOCATION, SYSIBM.SYSLUNAME. This catalog tables contains the DDF or CDB details.

Please feel free to correct me
