Is sysmaster db always called sysmaster?

Hi all, We're building the next version of a commercial application (I won't bore you with details or a sales pitch). In order to make the set-up process a little more user-friendly, we want to present the admin with a list of known dbspaces to select from for table creation. I want to populate a list using select name from sysmaster:sysdbspaces but this could be a problem if sysmaster isn't called sysmaster. The app will only be working with IFS2000 and beyond (no SE, or 7.x). Is this safe, or can the sysmaster have it's name changed? Ciao Fuzzy :-)

Not to my knowledge, it can't. Many of the utilities that come after-market depend on that name, so if it's changed, the DBA of the system will have more problems than he ever imagined.
