Hello,

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

If you want to display data from the SQL server without using the web API, I have to say it is a little hard, you cannot directly consume your SQL server/database info on a mobile application, refer to https://github.com/dotnet/SqlClient/issues/831#issuecomment-740197777

This issue has also been concerned by many developers, refer to
