It should work for Windows 8 as the SQLite is cross platform. There is a Sqlite implementation for Windows 8 App. http://code.google.com/p/csharp-sqlite/

I need to sync an azure database into my windows phone 8 application's local database. New data is only inserted into azure database. So it is kind of one way synchronization. How can I do it? Kindly inform me.

You can use Microsoft Sync Framework:

I'm working on Windows 8 Desktop Application and I'm using a SQL Server database. But I cannot figure out how to connect to that SQL Server database with this.
Try SQLite , I used it and it worked fine for me . Here's a tutorial and the official website

If you're using .NET look up the SqlConnection class
Now that windows 8 has been released, I am under the impression that a greater variety of ways for developers to use local databases in metro apps is now available to us (SQL Express LocalDB?). Up until now I have using the SQLite3 version that runs on windows 8, but know that I can I want to try and use the database features built in to Visual Studio 2012 (Won't this be better?)
To do this I am trying to follow the documentation on MSDN (here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms233763) however when I go to Project > Add New Item, I don't have a "Service-Based Database" option. What am I missing? Is there another component I need to install, or do I have it all completely wrong? I haven't used any of the sample databases mention in the documentation because I wanted to add it straight into my app. I'm using VS2012 Pro.
The Windows 8 app store api does not have any built-in database capabilities. Microsoft really wants you to use cloud storage. The documentation you're trying to follow is for windows 8 desktop applications not windows 8 store applications. You're probably best off using sqlite for the foreseeable future.
I want to build a metro style win 8 app which needs to access a local database (installed on the users pc) of information such as sql express.
The current beta builds of win 8 dont seem to support that. Has Microsoft released any info on whether this will be supported? Something like ado.net, entity framework, linq sql?
No, Windows 8 Metro style apps will not support connecting to a local database. That is to say, you will not be able to use a kind of connectionstring where you can say connect to server X. This has to do with the "Market store" principle that applications should work out of the box without configuring a database connection.
Probably there will be support for a local database as in Windows Phone 7 (SQL CE) with Linq to sql on top of it.
If you would like to access a database that's in a central location, than you will have to expose the data from the database with webservices which can be consumed by your metro style application.
I am currently developing an application for a Motorola enterprise mobility device which has Windows Mobile 6.5. I am developing the application using Visual Studio 2008 Mobile Development Kit using C#.
My problem is this :
I want to use a database for this application. But I have no idea how to use a database in a mobile device. I tried googling and even searching on this site but could not find a proper way to do it. While searching how to do this I came across this "SQL Anywhere Developer Edition" but I have no idea about it.
Could you please suggest the best way to have a database in the mobile application itself (not using client like SQL Server in the mobile) or any other way.
You want Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 for Windows Mobile.
