Bind Silverlight to a database?

I heard that Mango will have a local database available. I'm a bit of a novice regarding this whole thing

Is it possible to use Silverlight data binding to connect to a database and automatically receive updates etc or is it something that takes a bit more work? Perhaps it is necessary to add helper functions 开发者_高级运维that return lists from the database and you bind to those internal lists instead of directly to the database?
