Hello FarheenQ

You can connect to the SQL Server database in a VB Script and read out the needed data.

for displaying in WInCC V8 you can use a Grid view like the PM Grid Control or for example also a Custom web control like a table control

Here is a very simple example:

(you shold also be able to use the CWC in WinCC V8)

of course you can also use the data for other screen elements or controls like a combobox  or similar

Hello FarheenQ

I do not know a ready to use example for accessing a SQL Server database with WinCC V7/8 but you can use this FAQ:

https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/61883659

Its for WinCC Advanced in TIA, so you have to change the syntax for accessing tags or similar but the connection to the SQL should be equal in WinCC

Edit:

here is also a WinCC example:
