I want to enumerate all databases used by my SharePoint 2007 system. The stsadm -o enumcontentdbs only handles content db's but I also want the names of the SSP, Search and any other databases used by in the system.

Thanks

You could use this SQL query on the server, but it will of course get everything, not just SharePoint databases.

SELECT name FROM sys.databases

This is where good DB naming conventions can help you e.g. SharePoint_ContentDBNameOrPurpose. Then you can put that in your SELECT – Nick Hadlee Jul 22 '10 at 9:37
agreed but I don't have that luxury which is why I need an alternate, reliable approach. – ChiliYago Jul 22 '10 at 17:00
Thanks but that is not the meaning of my question. – ChiliYago Jul 22 '10 at 22:36

I've used this before now: http://spsfarmreport.codeplex.com/

Gives you a good report of the farm and will give you apps and associated content DB
