How do I troubleshoot database middleware issues?

I'm having trouble connecting my application to the database through the middleware. What should I check first?

First, ensure that the middleware is properly configured with the correct database connection string. Have you verified that?

Yes, I checked the connection string, and it seems correct. What else could be the issue?

Next, check if the middleware service is running. Sometimes, it might not be active, which can cause connection issues.

The service is running. Could it be a firewall issue?

Absolutely! A firewall might be blocking the connection. Make sure the necessary ports are open for the middleware to communicate with the database.
