Hi Shivani,
Are you currently able to create a SQL connection at all?
Yes I am able to connect via SQLConnection.
But the situation is i have written groovy code for connection as well as query in same groovy teststep.
And, there is option in Ready APi to make or configure JDBC connection at project level using Databses menu[Refer to attachment]. I want ot use either this configuration in my grrovy script or sql connection made in setup script.

There are two options.
First option - Create a JDBC connection via "databases" and you can build your queries i.e select X from Z where A = 2 etc. Once you are happy with the query, the outcome gets stored in the custom properties automatically and to call that custom property all you have to do is ${DataSourceName#PropertyName}. This is simple and straight forward way for data-driving.
Please find link below to help you.

Second option - Create a JDBC connection via groovy script and store that connection in a custom property and just recall that custom property everytime you want to run the sql connection. You will then write your own custom query and store the query output manually into custom properties.
I personally prefer option one simply because it's easy and less time consuming, though if you have some very complex custom queries that "query builder" cannot support then you could use the second option I suppose.
Thanks for such quick response.
But i am not sure about saving any sql connection object in custom properties so as to reuse it in my scripts in between test steps.
Can you guide me with any such sample example
Thanks
