If connection to a database with a square bracket character in its name cannot be established, you can try the following steps:

1. Verify that the database name contains the correct square bracket character.
2. Check if the database server is running and accessible.
3. Try connecting to the database using a different client or tool.
4. Check your connection string and ensure that it is correctly formatted, and that the brackets are escaped properly.
5. Try to rename the database with a name that does not contain square brackets.
6. Check if there are any special characters in the password used for the database connection, as these may also cause connectivity issues.
7. Contact the database administrator for further assistance if the issue persists.
