Connection Failures

Break connection problems into layers so network, auth, and config issues do not blur together.

Separate The Layers

Check host reachability, port access, credentials, SSL or SSH settings, and schema defaults one at a time.

Changing several layers at once usually creates false confidence instead of a real fix.

Test With The Smallest Viable Connection

Use the simplest possible connection profile first. If that works, add SSH, SSL, or alternative schemas incrementally.

Record What Changed

When a connection starts failing after it previously worked, capture exactly what changed: network path, credentials, hostnames, driver behavior, or database-side access rules.
