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

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189770.aspx

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

Similar features are available in Oracle:

http://www.dba-oracle.com/security/the_client_identifier.htm (in this
case, it is considered a security/auditing feature)
