Aaron Bertrand has a change of heart:
In my previous tip about SQL Server Extended Events, I discussed the trade-offs involved with choosing to store the database name instead of looking up the name via database_id later. At the time, we decided to use the latter approach since we are generally not concerned about the edge case where DDL is performed against a database that is then dropped before collection occurs.
Something else that has since come up: we want to filter out activity against a set of databases matching a specific name pattern since the DDL activity there is system-generated and does not need to be audited. We quickly learned that you have to be careful with how you use the database name in an Extended Events predicate.
