Message:
I only need to know the name of the database for the
connection. I don't need to do any cross-catalog selects, etc.

Message:
The current database is exactly what SQL_DATABASE_NAME
should return. Right now it returns nothing.

MS DOC for SQL_DATABASE_NAME
A character string with the name of the current database in
use, if the data source defines a named object called
"database".

Whether the dbms supports qualifying objects by their
catalog name is determined by SQL_CATALOG_USAGE which is
appears to reflect the driver capability right now and is ok.

Message:
The driver has returned "" for the request because PostgreSQL didn't support database.schema.table notation (even schema
support was unavailable until 7.3). Though
PostgreSQL supports the notation in recent
versions, I'm not sure if the driver is safe
for the notation.

PostgreSQL is essentially a catalog-less
dbms. Though PostgreSQL allows the notation,
the only valid database is the current one.
