I can't tell if this is the "whole story" - just taking about what I found out about this Topic for myself. The prefered way would be to have the database on a server and talk to it through a service (Web, WCF) - so your app would be just a "thin client". -Yea, this was not the way to go for me, too. But then I thought about why a "complex" database doesn't make sense on a phone and went for XML-files, talked to them using the framework functions/types and Linq, stored them locally on isolated storage and synced them with apps for other (Windows) platforms via SkyDrive. No pain at all for my usecase - I abstracted away the platform specifics and used the "new" portable library Project template to implement my model and repository (Interfaces). So maybe this would be a good way for you too - but I'would also be interested in other opinions...
[Edit: Oh, I forgot about NoSql (have a look at nuget for the package - can't remember why I decided against it)

You have 2 options for DB's in Windows Mobile apps:

1) SQL Lite:

2)Mobile Services (in Windows Azure):

It sucks I know, Best of luck!

Solution 1

SQLite is my preference. You could also use a remote connection to a webService, which would offset the database load to the server. You can also merge the two options and use SQLite when a network connection is not available.
