On your SQL server are you sure you have it set up to allow remote connections? Try following:

Hi @rupesh_patil20
What version of Splunk DB Connect are you referring to?
Splunk DB Connect 1?
https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/958/
or Splunk DB Connect 2?
https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/2686/
It's good to always provide as much detail as possible with your issue. That link you shared is from 2 years ago and only applies to DB Connect 1, so just trying to gather information for people to best help you out.
