You can't. The reason being that you can't put that kind of restriction on a store app, you should have no dependancy on an external database being available.

You can use sqlite however, and here is a guide: http://timheuer.com/blog/archive/2012/08/07/updated-how-to-using-sqlite-from-windows-store-apps.aspx

If you are wanting to connect to a database to pull data from it (as an enterprise app for example) then you can use web services as a wrapper around the database.
