There isn't any "show databases" equivalent in Oracle.
FWIW, I use Postgresql and Oracle, not Mysql, and am guessing that Mysql is similar to Postgresql in this respect. Postgresql supports the "database cluster" part of the SQL standard so you get one cluster per instance with one or more databases per cluster. Oracle does not support the "database cluster" part of the SQL standard so you only get one database per Oracle instance.
To determine the name of the currently connected database, you should be able to:
select global_name from global_name;

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
