    According to Wiki,

    Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database management system developed by Microsoft. As a database, it is a software product whose primary function is to store and retrieve data as requested by other software applications, be it those on the same computer or those running on another computer across a network (including the Internet). There are at least a dozen different editions of Microsoft SQL Server aimed at different audiences and for workloads ranging from small single-machine applications to large Internet-facing applications with many concurrent users. Its primary query languages are T-SQL and ANSI SQL.

    Well there you have it. TBH it might as well be in Chinese as I do not have a scooby WTF it is all about.

    Good Luck with that. LOL

    There's nothing you can do, it's their website that isn't connecting to the MySQL server as it might be down or off. It's not your SQL server, it's name is 'MySQL'.
