    {
        new TextBlock()
        {
            Color = TextColor.Attention,
            Weight = TextWeight.Bolder,
            Size = TextSize.Medium,
            Text = "Select a title",
        },
        new ChoiceSet()
        {
            Id = "title",
            Style = ChoiceInputStyle.Compact,
            IsRequired = false,
            IsMultiSelect = false,
            Value = "1",

Are you using the Microsoft.AdaptiveCards NuGet package? You should really be using the one just called AdaptiveCards instead. — Kyle Delaney

This looks like it's more of a question about using data from your database than a question about Adaptive Cards. Can you show us how you're retrieving the data? — Kyle Delaney

Assuming you can get your data into a list of strings, your Adaptive Card can easily be constructed dynamically using Linq. If you want to keep using the same Adaptive Cards library, it would look like this:

var data = new List<string> { "Swiss cargo", "ticket booking" };

var card = new AdaptiveCard()
{
    Body = new List<CardElement>()
    {
        new TextBlock()
        {
            Color = TextColor.Attention,
            Weight = TextWeight.Bolder,
            Size = TextSize.Medium,
            Text = "Select a title",
        },
        new ChoiceSet()
        {
            Id = "title",
            Style = ChoiceInputStyle.Compact,
            IsRequired = false,
            IsMultiSelect = false,
            Value = "1",
            Choices = data.Select(item => new Choice { Title = item, Value = item }).ToList(),
        },
    },
};
