Hi Steve,
Here are a couple of links to get you moving in the right direction. A SQL Server database can be accessed directly with an HTTP parameter string and FOR XML output. But this method isn't recommended due to the possibility of SQL injection. Most SQL Server based applications implement a middle tier (like ASP.NET) to seperate the database from business and security logic. On the Flex side, you can use WebService, HTTPService, or RemoteObject. WebService is the most generic, but also the slowest. HTTPService is faster than WebService because SOAP isn't involved. RemoteObject is the method of choice for performance, because serialized data (AMF) is sent across the wire. I hope that this helps you get started.
