If you already installed Umbraco to a database, you can't just switch connection strings and expect everything to be fine. You asked the same question just before and got the same answer - reinstalling is your best option, since Umbraco does a bunch of database setup when installing. Which shouldn't be a problem at all, since you've only just installed it, right?

The connection string is in web.config under <connectionStrings> named umbracoDbDSN, but just pointing it to a different database will NOT fix anything.

If you want to move your data to SQL Server, this may help you though: http://carlosmartinezt.com/2014/03/umbraco-migrate-from-sql-ce-to-sql-server/
