I am trying to get my SQL database to work, use Invision Board to connect to it, having restored the database from a backup. It cannot find the database even though the username, password database name are all correct. I used a SQL test file and this is the output.

Any suggestions? I have sent an email to my hosts but they have yet to get back to me. Is it my end or theirs?
