I am using System i Navigator to connect to a particular IBM system i
When I open the "Databases" node for one this system, I see
a database named "Sphisr" - not sure how that name
was assigned (it does not match anything on DSPNETA),
but we have a somewhat odd system admin.
Under "Sphisr" is where I see the various libraries that
exist on this iSeries, so, no, I don't think the
"database name" is "the library name".

Maybe this will help:
I am looking at an MS Access database I created years past which transferred
data from Access to some files on an IBM i.
I used the IBM OLE DB data access driver, and created a ADODB.Connection object
to support the data transfers.
The connection object used the IBM i "network name", which I got from our network
team. So I think you should be able to use MS ADODB from Visual Studio in a similar
fashion.
I used an MC Press book by Chris Peters and Brian Singleton named
"i5/OS and Microsoft Office" and an IBM manual on OLE DB and ActiveX, but you
should be able to find more current/relevant info for Visual Studio.
iProDeveloper would
certainly be a good source of info.
