If you have postgres typing psql at the prompt will take you to an interactive terminal. I believe typing mysql will do the same for mysql. This may only work if you have the client binary in your path, though. Also you might wanna take a look at the start scripts in /etc/init.d/ if you have postgreSQL installed you should see a start script named postgresql or pgsql, mysql should be mysql. HTH, -b
