    If it works from jdbc step, then is it possible to open project xml and see if not tried already?
    While this question is not directory related to ReadyAPI, I understand, please check with DBA to get it or reset. Password had to reset time to time.

By the way, it is not mentioned which database is used.
Depending on it, the connection string will change and respective driver library has to used.
I believe, the tool has support for some databases out-of-the-box(please check documentation) or $READYAPI_HOME/lib directory.
If a particular library is not supported OOTB, one can download the respective driver , copy it under $READYAPI_HOME/bin/ext and restart the tool. This is applicable to both jdbc step / groovy script step as well.

Since you mentioned that ablee to connect to db, you may not need to download any drivers. But that is just information only.
