Which SQL server is running on a Linux Box?

Question

I have a redhat linux server that I am trying to work out what is running on it. I have inherited it and am trying to move it to a different server.

I know there are several SQL databases running on it but I don't know what SQL package is controlling them.

Is there a way to find out?

Answer 1

You can use the Red Hat services command to get a list of daemons running. One of them should be the database server.

sudo service --status-all

And if that doesn't work (eg it's not being run as a service) you can always do

ps -ef|grep 'postgres|mysql|oracle|sql'
