Is there a mysql or sqlite service running on ubuntu by default?

As far as I know, there is no database software installed on Ubuntu. However doing a search in your Synaptic would reveal the packages you can install.

sqlite isn't a service, it is a C library.

MySQL isn't installed on the desktop version by default.

SQLite is used by many apps, including Firefox.

It means SQLite does not have server running, administration (and does not allow multiple users). This is why SQLite is excellent choice for embedded databases, and for SQL development: database is just a file with special structure, you can copy it, make backup, run another SQL query against it, etc.

Yes, it is a very handy library especially the way it is so easy to use.
