query repository for its type: bdb or fsfs

Friends,

I'm looking for a way to query a repository for its type. I created a 
repository so long ago that I can't remember whether I used bdb or fsfs. 
Is the presence of a "db" directory under the repository directory 
enough to indicate a bdb-based repository? Please point me in the right 
direction, as the search terms I've used thus far haven't produced results.

Many thanks,
Craig

I believe, the following should work:

Create a new reposisotry
$ svnadmin create new-repos-path --fs-type fsfs

$ svnadmin dump old-repos-path > dumpfile
$ svnadmin load new-repos-path < dumpfile

Thanks Hari. I'd wondered.

And is it possible to convert from bdb to fsfs please?

Thanks, Hari. Since my server is on Windows Server 2003, I did this:

$ type <svn-repo>\db\fs-type
$ fsfs

the following is true if the repository is fsfs:

$ cat <svn-repo>/db/fs-type
fsfs
