How to know which database is behind a web application?

I've read that different databases (mysql, sql server,...) have different vulnerabilities and that they are vulnerable to some specific sql injections.

When attacker try to perform a database attack against a website (like SQL injection) first of all identifies the kind of database, and after performs the attack thinking of the database detected.

How this previous inspection is performed by the attacker? Using some special queries? Are there specific tools? I've not found any information of this.
