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.
