    First, do you need a database? If you need to store basic app configuration materials, Windows Phone has local storage which will work for this.

    If you really need database (to store relational data, or other database functionality) then you have a couple of choices:

    Windows phone 7.5 (code name mango) has support for SQL CE, which is an optimized version of MS Sql Server for mobile devices.

    If you need to target versions earlier than Mango, SterlingDB is a good alternative.

    There are a number of articles on the web dedicated to getting you started with this.
