Local SQL databases are not supported for Windows Store apps or Windows Phone 8 apps.
You can connect to a database on a server or use a 3rd party database such as SQLite .
If you're trying to create a SQL database for use in a desktop app or server then you'll need to use a more appropriate version of Visual Studio. In that case let us know more specifically what you are trying to do and we can direct you to a more appropriate forum.

I am trying to create a windows phone app that allows the user to input into a database the information for a recipe, the user then can use their phone to read the instructions from while baking instead of having to have a paper copy of the recipe on the work surface. If this cannot be achieved by using SQL, could you give me an option, or point me to an option please. Gordon

You can connect to a database on a server (check out Windows Azure Mobile Services) or use a 3rd party database such as SQLite .Monday, March 31, 2014 6:49 PMModerator
