I've signed up into Oracle Application Express for my school education purposes (I need free Oracle db hosting). I am developing web application which I would like to be coonected to db which Oracle given me with App Express. My problem is that I don't know where to get connection string for this db or if it is even possible to get.
Thank you very much :)

If I understand your question, you're trying to use the database provided at apex.oracle.com as just a standard Oracle db and build your own independent web app using that as the backend db? If so, you can't. The apex.oracle.com setup is designed purely for learning and experimenting with apex.
This is confirmed here

If I understood your question!
I'm not aware of any free Oracle hosting other than downloading free versions from Oracle and hosting on your own computer.

I'm looking into developing single deployment applications, traditional desktop applications with simple database(s) embedded. By my understanding Microsoft have removed support for MSSQL Compact Edition in the newer versions of Visual Studio.
I've read that the approach recommended by them is to use the Express version of MSSQL, however I'm failing to understand how an application with an Express SQL database embedded in it would be able to run on a machine without the SQL service installed and running.
Am I missing something here? I've hunted around Google for the last few hours, is the only solution to use a 3rd party technology like SQLite?
I am looking to host a small site for some video content. I konw some C# and ASP.NET so this would be my lanugage of choice.
Question is, if I can build it all using express . free editions of VS, SQL Server and IIS, am I allowed to publish this on the internet for people to view? Not making profit, just my own music performances. I dont need to worry about buying a commercial edition?
Thanks.

Absolutely! The community addition is more than capable to meet your needs. You could even host the site for free on Azure if you wanted:

Although the database hosting would cost unless you used a file based database like SQLite.
I recently started a Winforms VB.NET application that uses a mysql database to store information. Problem is this is a standalone system no network access to the database is needed. And installing mysql server, along with the connector has become a great burden. Is there a viable alternative database engine that will be non-transactional, and EF still works with. This database just needs to keep up with client details, payment History, and related items..
SQL Server Compact might work for you, depending on it's limitations. If not, SQL Server Express will work fine
After learning how to use SQL this past semester, I would like to put it to use in an application. After coming upon the realization that my application would require SQL Server software installed in order for it to work, I asked around and was directed to SQLite.
I'm wondering if anyone can give a quick tutorial on how to use SQLite with a Windows Form Application, or direct me to one (I can't seem to find one).

You may also consider SQLCE (Compact Edition). It is a free sql implementation from microsoft. Last time I looked at SQL Lite I think it was out of development (I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong).
SQLCE is easy to use from visual studio and sql server managagement studio. Anyone using your application will need the runtime installed or you can build your deployment to handle that.
I'm looking for a way to create an online form that will update an Access database that has just a few tables. Does anyone know of a simple solution for this?
ASP.NET should be able to do it just fine.
It depends on what web technology you use.
With Classic ASP, you can connect to the database the JET DB engine COM object that comes with any windows machine.
With ASP.NET, you can connect using OLEDB data connectors.
