Inquiring About Database Events
The following table lists the INQUIRE_SQL parameters that return information about a database event. All character values are returned in lower case. If no event is queued, an empty or blank string is returned (depending on your host language conventions).

Character
The database in which the event was raised.
dbeventtime
Date
The date and time at which the event was raised.
