There are alternative ways to detect database existence, but can the INFORMATION_SCHEMA schema be used instead (such as in the master db, or somewhere else)?
As far as I know, this is not possible with INFORMATION_SCHEMA. As noted in the documentation, INFORMATION_SCHEMA is created on a per database basis, and contains metadata specific to the database it is created in. There is no concept of a “server level” INFORMATION_SCHEMA.
