I take it using /etc/hostname is out of the question? You could cheat by creating a file in /etc (say myname) which then contains a unique identifier for each machine. Then the script can read the file in some manner similar to:
Another way would be to use the MAC address of the machine which will be unique. As you are using a database anyway the MAC address could be in there with an associated unique name. Accessing the MAC address depends on the system - on Linux I can find mine by using the ifconfig command. With Solaris you search for the local machine in the arp table. I don't know how MACOS X does it.
Alternatively could your DHCP server administrator be persuaded to reserve each IP address for each MAC address, making the IP address and therefore hostname constant?

tk_uid
Tk_GetUid(3) Tk Library Procedures Tk_GetUid(3)__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________NAME
Tk_GetUid, Tk_Uid - convert from string to unique identifier
SYNOPSIS
#include <tk.h>
Tk_Uid
Tk_GetUid(string)
ARGUMENTS
char *string (in) String for which the corresponding unique identifier is desired.
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
Tk_GetUid returns the unique identifier corresponding to string. Unique identifiers are similar to atoms in Lisp, and are used in Tk to
speed up comparisons and searches. A unique identifier (type Tk_Uid) is a string pointer and may be used anywhere that a variable of type
"char *" could be used. However, there is guaranteed to be exactly one unique identifier for any given string value. If Tk_GetUid is
called twice, once with string a and once with string b, and if a and b have the same string value (strcmp(a, b) == 0), then Tk_GetUid will
return exactly the same Tk_Uid value for each call (Tk_GetUid(a) == Tk_GetUid(b)). This means that variables of type Tk_Uid may be com-
pared directly (x == y) without having to call strcmp. In addition, the return value from Tk_GetUid will have the same string value as its
argument (strcmp(Tk_GetUid(a), a) == 0).
KEYWORDS
atom, unique identifier
