I concur with Paul's intial post. Database driven Flex applications are generally at least a 3-tier architecture. 1) UI = Flex; 2) Database = ?; 3) Middle tier (aka "application server") = ?.
Generally the middle tier is an http server. However, in the case of <mx:RemoteObjects> it is an AMF server.
The SQL2005 issues raised by Tracy and Roger are a case where the database now bundles in http services.
For a very broad view of how to get data into Flex, following is a link for a Jeff Tapper article that does a good job comparing and contrasting the options (note: the article is from the Flash era but is still relevant to Flex 2):

Adobe has made the ColdFusion application server very Flex friendly. You can find videos demonstrating some Flex Builder 2 wizards for creating ColdFusion/Flex 2 applications using <mx:RemoteObject> here:

Flex 2 certainly integrates well with other application servers too. Flex 2 is certainly very Java friendly, and there is an active PHP project AMFPHP for that application server.

Flex doesn't connect directly to a database. You will need to use a
server-side technology and communicate with it using:
Http service, Web service, Flex Data Service, etc. - just check out the
tutorials on the adobe site and all over the web.
