hello @nitingoel82, that’s a great question.

once you’ve created a Connector to your Database: [How to Write a SQL Connector Function | Tulip Help Center - Support for Building Manufacturing Apps](https://support.tulip.co/en/articles/2221480-how-to-write-a-sql-connector-function), you can add a **On Step Enter** Trigger to Run the Connector Function and use the logic listed here: [Table records in a select option - #4 by gio](https://community.tulip.co/t/table-records-in-a-select-option/867/4) to populate the Single Select dropdown.

does that make sense?? let us know!!
