How do I get the ID of a database?

[Tom Glod]

Hey Bob.... I don't understand the problem. Why don't you just store the ID
in a persistent place? i think you are over complicating something here.
Why can't YOU give it the name that you need and wnat it to be and then
store the ID with that name somewhere?

Maybe I'm just misunderstanding the problem.
