Path to mysql

How to find path to mysql

[chabbs]

Hi all,

I'd like to know how I would be able to find the full server path to mysql? I am new at working with databases. The hosting company hasn't been very helpful and it looks like they don't want to give me the path.

I am trying to restore a database through a program that I am using on the server. I need the path to be able to restore it. I've tried using the restore utility on the server but tells me that there is an error. So my only chance left is finding the path and seeing of I could restore the database through program. If this doesn't work I will have lost 80 hours of work.

For future reference: type in

whereis mysql

at the bash prompt.
