Is it better to move 1)sub-domain to new main domain or 2)to change the sub-domain name to main domain. in magento

Question

Before we created sub-domain "steel.newtrendz.com" for magento site. after completion of the site, we planned to move the

entire sub-domain site data "steel.newtrendz.com" to new main domain "steeloffcuts.co.nz". So we tried to transfer data from "steel.newtrendz.com" to "http://steeloffcuts.co.nz/". So we got Database error as follows

"magento SQLSTATE[42000] [1044] Access denied for user to Database"

After lot of frustration, we changed the name "steel.newtrendz.com" to "http://steeloffcuts.co.nz/" in

Configuration>web>Unsecure> base url and in Configuration>web>secure> base url .

Is everything fine. is there any problem with this related to sub-domain & main domain or something else?

Is something else i have to change?

let me know if you have any queries in the question?

Thanks.
