In general it's better if you expose the functionality that you need through web services and have the mobile devices access the information through those services instead of exposing your database. Using web services will also add a layer of insulation so that you can potentially make changes to your database and would only need to change the service implementation appropriatly such that the mobile applications are unaffect.

Since you are targetting a mobile device you may want to consider what will be done when a connection cannot be established. Will the application just not work, or will you have offline functionality too. If you will have offline functionality then you may want to consider making your application what Microsoft calls a "Smart client." More information on that can be found in Microsoft's Patterns and Practices pages.

I know you said you are new to mobile development, but you've not stated your comfort level with development in general. If you need more guidance on how to do what I describe let me know and I can be more detailed.
