I would first try:
pkg_info | grep -i sql
The -i switch will ignore case-sensitive strings (I hope that is correct).
If it does return, example mysql, you can try:
(as root)
find / -name mysql
This should at least tell where mysql has install example: /usr/mysql/somedatabase
and to connect to your mysql database, check to see if mysql is in the $PATH
which mysql # if not add it to your permissions.
Another tool to use and enginneer your database is
Mysql Query Browser
I hope this helps.
