You have your mrInterview system setup, but you are unsure if the SQL database is accessible to you. The first thing to do would be to talk to your IT guys and see what they have to say, if they say you should be able to connect then the quickest way for you to double check is to try and make the SQL connection. Ask them to provide you with the SQL login details ( name of server, user login and password ) and once you have this, you are ready to go.
