Solution 1 - Mongodb

Found it by guessing :) Simply:

db

Solution 2 - Mongodb

The command to get database name in the shell is:

> db.getName()

While just typing db works, you will find that this only works interactively and if you're working on a script this may not give the result you want.

Solution 3 - Mongodb

db.current

is a CLI command that will show you the database you are currently working in
