This depends on your specific database server and install.
For example, MySQL per default runs on port 3306, but may be
run on any arbitary port.
Please note in general, your specific application has to be fine with being
load balanced, as LVS only balances on the network level.
LVS doesn't inspect your IP packets or tcp connections and can't e.g.
tell "read" from "write" requests, accordingly route them to different
nodes or clusters. LVS also doesn't synchronize data between your
database servers - that's the job of your DBMS.
Actually, there aren't many DBMS who do permit loadbalanced database
connections, and some of them do implement loadbalancing on a different
level, yet others may be "mis-used" for loadbalancing.
For example, I'm running a MySQL "write master", whose data is being
replicated onto a few dozen different MySQL servers. Those replicas are
being run in "read-only" mode, and a LVS loadbalancer balances incoming
connections among those read-only-nodes.
The usecase scenarios are the following:
-any application who writes data, does connect to the "write master".
-any application who absolutely requires consistent data does connect to
the "write master" as well.
-any application, who is fine with only reading data, and this data may
be off by a few seconds, does connect to the read-only-cluster.

keepalived has a "check_misc"-Command for health checks; you may add a
small, shortrunning skript (shell/perl/python/whatever) to test the
availability of your database servers that way: connect to the database,
optionally do run some small availibility test, disconnect from the
database, return 0 for success and any other return code for failure.
As a starting point, you may e.g. use the nagios-plugins; they do
connect to various database systems and already do implement this
"returncode-interface".
