Okay, perhaps I inverted it then. My build of Cacti stores everything to a mysql DB, though it could admittedly be a myISAM DB with NDOutils being of the InnoDB type. However it works out, I'm pretty confident that I have two database types on one mysql server and I'm trying to figure out how to use a mysql command to list the database names and their types...

# mysql -u root -p -e "show databases;"
Enter password:
+--------------------+
| Database           |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| cacti              |
| mysql              |
| nagdb              |
| nagios             |
| test               |

I would double check these information. Cacti runs on rrd( round robin database). I have innodb for my ndoutils 1.47b.

    Our Nagios server also has Cacti on it. I'm pretty sure that Cacti
    uses an InnoDB database, while NDOUtils uses myISAM. The two are
    backed up differently (example: mysqlhotcopy doesn't working on
    InnoDB databases). Does anyone know what mysql command you run to
    determine which type of DB is used for various databases,
    especially considering you can run multiple types at once? I know
    I can use "mysqlshow" or the "show databases;" options to show the
    databases themselves, but it doesn't list the DB type. Using
    mysqlshow with a -t and a DB name shows the table types, but
    again, not the database types. I'm sort of stuck on this. I want
    to make sure I know what DB types I'm dealing with so I can ensure
    I'm backing them up properly. Google searches aren't helping...
    the results all go back to the "mysql versus innodb" debate...
