SQL Server DB Error: Invalid object name 'dbversion'

Invalid object name errors indicate that up.time is not able to find required objects in the database.  This is typically caused by one of the following problems:

1. up.time is pointing to the wrong db host or instance.
2. The up.time schema has not been initialized or the object doesn't actually exist.
3. The up.time database user doesn't have permissions to access the specified object.
