Sure, there are several ways to push data from ServiceNow to SQL Server. Here are some of them:

1. **Direct JDBC Connection**: ServiceNow can connect directly to SQL Server using a JDBC connection. You can write a script to push data to SQL Server.

2. **ODBC Driver**: You can use an ODBC driver to connect ServiceNow to SQL Server. This will allow you to push data from ServiceNow to SQL Server.

3. **Web Services**: ServiceNow supports both SOAP and REST web services. You can create a web service in SQL Server and call it from ServiceNow to push data.

4. **IntegrationHub**: ServiceNow's IntegrationHub allows you to create flow-based integrations with third-party systems. You can use it to push data to SQL Server.

5. **Mid Server**: ServiceNow's Mid Server can be used to push data to SQL Server. The Mid Server sits within your network and can interact with your local SQL Server.

6. **Data Export**: You can export data from ServiceNow in a format that SQL Server can import, such as CSV or XML.

7. **ETL Tools**: You can use ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) tools to push data from ServiceNow to SQL Server. These tools can connect to both ServiceNow and SQL Server, extract data from ServiceNow, transform it as needed, and load it into SQL Server.

Remember, the method you choose will depend on your specific requirements, such as the volume of data, the frequency of data transfer, and the complexity of the data transformation.

Hi Rajdeep,

I guess here "ODBC Driver" would be the best way to do it, as they want to directly hit their table database to capture the data.

Do you have any detailed documents on how we can achieve this, i have gone through a few docs documents. but if there is any other link you have that would be helpfull.

Thanks!

Sure, there are several ways to push data from ServiceNow to SQL Server:

1. **Web Services**: ServiceNow provides several web services that can be used to push data to an external system like SQL Server. These include SOAP, REST, and JSON web services.

- SOAP: ServiceNow provides a SOAP web service that can be used to push data to an external system. You can create a SOAP message in ServiceNow and send it to the SQL Server.

- REST: ServiceNow also provides a REST web service that can be used to push data to an external system. You can create a REST message in ServiceNow and send it to the SQL Server.

- JSON: ServiceNow provides a JSON web service that can be used to push data to an external system. You can create a JSON message in ServiceNow and send it to the SQL Server.

2. **JDBC Data Sources**: ServiceNow can connect to an external SQL Server database using a JDBC data source. You can create a JDBC data source in ServiceNow and use it to push data to the SQL Server.

3. **Direct Database Connection**: ServiceNow can connect directly to an external SQL Server database. You can create a database connection in ServiceNow and use it to push data to the SQL Server.

4. **Scheduled Data Export**: ServiceNow can schedule a data export to an external system like SQL Server. You can create a scheduled data export in ServiceNow and use it to push data to the SQL Server.

5. **Mid Server**: ServiceNow Mid Server can be used to push data to an external system like SQL Server. You can install a Mid Server in your network and use it to push data from ServiceNow to the SQL Server.

6. **ODBC Driver**: ServiceNow provides an ODBC driver that can be used to push data to an external system like SQL Server. You can install the ODBC driver on your system and use it to push data from ServiceNow to the SQL Server.

7. **Data Pump**: ServiceNow Data Pump is a tool that can be used to push data to an external system like SQL Server. You can configure the Data Pump in ServiceNow and use it to push data to the SQL Server.

Remember, the method you choose will depend on your specific requirements and the capabilities of your SQL Server system.

Hi @Pragati4 

Although there are multiple ways to push data from ServiceNow to SQL Server ( Assuming MSSQL Server), the one which is being preferred by me is doing it with a PowerShell Mid Server Script File. 

Through PowerShell, we can write a script to connect, validate and push the data to the MSSQL server via Mid Server through SQL Cmdlets. These PowerShell based Mid Server Script files could thus be called from the Flow through PowerShell step in an action.
