It would be nice to see the current database in the notebook

[robertbindar]

This is more of an investigation task. We should research and see if it's possible to display somewhere in the notebook the current selected database.

some ideas

maybe make a nbextension like official varInspector. Can click a button on the toolbar, then pop up a floating and draggable window show some information such as current use database name, maybe also show the table inside the database, even more, show the schema of the table.

I think @a97410985 is right, we will probably need a jupyterlab extension for this (existing or a new one) to fiddle with the UI. I've been browsing through the jupyter messaging protocol and I can't seem to find anything that hints me a kernel is able to do something like this.
