+3  A: 

If you want to simply create a web application for the BlackBerry, learning ASP.NET (including MVC) would be the best idea. You'd have to make sure you designed for the BlackBerry browser.

If you want to create a native BlackBerry application, you'll have to pick up Java. On top of that, I'd learn WCF so that you can provide a Web Service front end for your data.

A: 

If you just want to expose the database directly, you can create an ADO.NET Data Service with Linq-to-SQL in about 5 minutes.
