Hello 

how to read data from external connected device and store it to thingworx database, and how the changes are reflected. I don't have any connected devices but I am assuming that it is connected , now i want to know how i will map the data coming from my real device to the 'Thing' that I created in thingworx. 

And then store that data to database.

I tried to connect Azure sql database , but it gives me the error as - Thing not running.

how to overcome this error

Hello @YS_10134308 

if you have some devices which you want to connect with ThingWorx this can be done by industrial connectivity:
