You cannot connect to a remote SQL Server database directly from a UWP app. You need to consume the database through a service layer: https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/How-to-access-data-from-935e360c

If you use the new Entity Framework Core you can choose if you want to use MS SQL server in your project or the SQL Lite database. Its your choice.
