Solved - SQL Server Connection could not be Established Error

Summary: MS SQL is a Relational Database System which focuses on storing and retrieving data on the request of other applications. It runs either on the same computer or on another system over a network. Some common relational database systems that use SQL for storing and retrieving data are Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, Ingres, Sybase, etc.

As other database systems, SQL database is also prone to corruption. To repair and recover the SQL database, users rely on Sysinfotools MS SQL Database Recovery Tool. The tool offers a way to directly export the newly created database to the SQL server after the whole recovery process. But when it comes to testing the server connection for exporting the new database, users get an error that “Connection could not be established. Contact support team at support@sysinfotools.com”

Case

I’ve automated the Excel with the SQL database to make it more convenient for my investor to get the insights of all the data. But, recently some of my stored procedures went inaccessible. So, I used MSSQL Database Recovery tool to recover the data and recreate the database. But, when I tried to export recovered data as a new database and sought to test database connection, I got an error saying connection could not be established and asking to contact the support team. I’m sharing a screenshot of the error message that I got, so you can easily interpret my concern. Please help me to resolve the issue as I've got a limited timespan for the investor.”
