Default mysql location?

hi all, this might be a daft question, but when you create a MySQL Server database in cPanel, where does it actually put the database? ie. within my directory structure.

the reason I ask is because I have an SQL Server database for my Zen Cart which I run on an old website hosting with another hosting company. I want to migrate this shopping cart to my new website hosting on eukhost. as such, I am guessing I take a homedirectory back up in cPanel from my old host, then take an SQL Server database back up also in cPanel. Then go to my cPanel on my eukhost website hosting and upload / recover the SQL Server database and home directory backups. Does this sound right?!?! I wanted to full understand where the SQL Server file would be uploaded to before I went ahead and just did it all 'blindly' incase I screw things up.

Any advice, guidance would be of great help.

Cheers, widget
