Hello,
Is it possible to connect to relational databases with the xamPivotGrid? Or is it only possible to connect with olap databases?

Hello Geert,
In order to use XamPivotGrid you should consider to use SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) built over your relational database and then use XmlaDataSource instance as data source for XamPivotGrid. Also here you can find how you can set up your SSAS to provide access through XMLA:

Another option is to bring your data to the client application using for example Entity Framework, then as data source you can use FlatDataSource instances. Good starting point for using FlatDataSource are the Silverlight's online samples you can find here:

If you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to ask.
