# Name

`PROPERTY Name AS String`

Returns or sets the name of the database you want to connect to.

If you do not specify a name, a default system database is used.

- For PostgreSQL the default database is `template1`.
- For mySQL it is `mysql`.
- For SQLite it is `/tmp/sqlite.db`.

Needless to say, the user needs at least a read/connect access to these databases.

Sqlite will locate the database using the following:

- If fullpath given then use this.
- If Host variable set, then look at the path set in the variable.
- If environment variable GAMBAS_SQLITE_DBHOME is set then use.
- Current working directory.

You can also create and use a database in meory by giving the database name as ":memory:".
