SQL Code

The following SQL will return the environment (SQL Server Instance + Database Name) in which it runs; for example: [MyServer\MyInstance].[MyDatabase].

{copytext|div1}
select
     Environment    = '[' + convert(varchar(300), serverproperty('servername')) 
                                + '].[' + db_name() + ']'

Using in a Report

1. Create a new dataset in your report called Environment, which uses the same data source as your main dataset and is based on the above SQL statement.

2. Create a new report parameter called Environment. Make it hidden and set its default value to the Environment field in the Environment dataset.

3. Create a textbox in the page footer of your report (or wherever you like) and set its value to =Parameters!Environment.Value. Also, setting the font size to 6-point seems to be a good size.
