database name

Is there a way to determine the current database the session is using? I want
to use this to determine if a script should proceed. It should only proceed
if the current database is not a system database.
I was thinking something like,
IF (select dbid < 6) THEN RAISERROR.
Thoughts' Thanks!Check books online for db_name.
If you execute something like:
select db_name()
you will get the current database name.

Can I be sure that all database ids greater than 6 are not system databases?
If so, the logic would be this:
if ( db_id(db_name()) < 6) Raiserror ('Must not be a system database',16,1)

e.g.
If (db_id()<6) Raiserror ('Must not be a system included database',16,1)
Howerver, it's best to be explicit because you would never know if there
would be more than 6 system included databases. Plus, the db_id for the 7th
might be >6. Thus,
If (db_name() in ('master','msdb','tempdb','model','Northwind','Pubs'))
Raiserror ('Must not be a system included database',16,1)
