Sure. Here's a nice example from SQL Server as well as related doc links:

http://blog.benhall.me.uk/2007/10/sql-connection-application-name.html
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189770.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.sqlclient.sqlconnection.connectionstring%28VS.85%29.aspx

Kris pointed out the JDBC usage of this (and some related properties):

Similar features are available in Oracle:

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/appdev.920/a96612/d_appin2.htm
http://www.dba-oracle.com/security/the_client_identifier.htm (in this
case, it is considered a security/auditing feature)
