 Returns data only in Azure SQL database, SQL database in Fabric, or dedicated SQL pool in Azure Synapse Analytics.
 
-- If logged on to the `master` database in an Azure SQL Database logical server, returns information on all databases.
-- For dedicated SQL pools in Azure Synapse Analytics, you must be connected to the `master` database. This applies to both dedicated SQL pools in Azure Synapse workspaces and dedicated SQL pools (formerly SQL DW).
+If the current database context is the `master` database in an Azure SQL Database logical server, returns information on all databases.

For details, see [DB_ID](../../t-sql/functions/db-id-transact-sql.md#remarks).|  
-| `edition` |**sysname**|The service tier for the database or data warehouse: **Basic**, **Standard**, **Premium** or **Data Warehouse**.|
