hello friends,

iam new bie to the linux and i want to know that

whether mysql is present in my system or not?

if at all present which version it is.

and in genereal i want to know how to find any specific package is there or not


thanks in advance

Try this as root:

rpm -qa | grep mysql

If you have mysql installed it should spit out the packages and version numbers.

If you want to install MySQL yourself from the binary package provided at www.mysql.com you can check out my tutorial at http://www.linux-corner.net/linux/services/mysql.html
