How to check if a database exists with ODBC

Question

Hello fellow programmers

I have been searching the internet for a few days now and can't find a generic method to solve this with only ODBC and SQL.

Is there a way to see if a database already exist, only using ODBC. It has to be standard SQL because the user can chose a DSN of his choice (meaning his own SQL Server).

This means I can't check the master table on the server because they are named different on different SQL servers.

Thanks.
