Yes, please check the docs:
PQdb Returns the database name of the connection.
char *PQdb(const PGconn *conn)
PQdb and the next several functions return the values established at connection. These values are fixed for the
life
of the PGconn object.
It's described in the 'libpq' section of the programmer's manual.
