I though it is a silly question but after searching all over internet could not find an answer. So how do I check if I have Percona or original MySQL installed on the server?

service mysql status

On a centos/fedora based server, this command is a pseudonym for

systemctl status mysql

it will report

mysqld.service - MySQL Percona Server

If you have percona installed. You may need root permissions.

Another way to check is to issue "SHOW PLUGINS" from your mysql client.

If you see anything XTRADB such as XTRADB_READ_VIEW/XTRADB_INTERNAL_HASH_TABLES/XTRADB_RSEG then you know it is Percona Server since they add in XTRADB. That will not be part of Oracle Community.
