WPF and SQL/Relational Dababase Applications - Am I wrong

Question

Just a quick question and observation... I am going to be developing intensive, SQL or MySql, Relational Database applications.  After some searching of the net, I see that even VS 2010 pro isn't much more capable than VS 2008 in designing relational Database WPF applications.  Am I correct or do I have it wrong?  Please say I'm wrong.  :(

It looks like I might have to co-design Form, WPF and .Net Link to create my applications.  Again, please tell me I'm wrong.

I am hoping that I can develop exclusively with WPF and create SQL intensive DB applications. 

Any feedback or directions where to find this answer is greatly appreciated.
