I am interacting with an Oracle DB using SQL over an ODBC connection. Is there an SQL command I can use to get the MAC address of the server, or something that uniquely identifies the server hardware or software installation. This is so I can be sure (or at least fairly sure) that I’m talking to the same database all the time.

The v$database performance view has a column dbid. This is a rather unique identification number of your database. (ofcourse the name column could be unique as well)
