Detecting Database Type?

Hey guys, Can someone help me out? I am trying to figure out what type of database a web page uses… is there anyway to figure that out from the client end?

Thanks:ninja:

Try to get it to generate an error.

I could be wrong, but that sounds like a custom error to me.

You can also scan the server for ports used by the most ubiquitous sql servers and see if the server will give you any more information.

If you can produce a SQL error, you can use the @@version function to return the database version via a union select statement.
