Does Android support SQL server support? If so, how do I connect to SQL 2008 in an Android app?
You cannot connect directly, you need a web service to do this work.
http.client can help you communicate with the web service
I think I can help you. I developed a connection from android to Microsoft SQL Server. I used: a web service with Linux Ubuntu, Apache as a web server, PHP and FreeTDS to connect a Microsoft SQL server, and it works.
Hope this helps you.

You can use the jtds driver (version 1.25) to connect to an external sql server - it works!
