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.

I am planning to use azure mobile services for one of our products. I was confused about how can I use any of my existing databases (like MySQL, PostgreSQL, or Oracle instead of SQL database offered by Azure) which is available via TCP?
Kindly confirm.
Are you using the JavaScript/Node backend or the .NET backend?
If you're using JS, you'll need to create API scripts and import the Node module for your database. You can't use the default data scripts since they are only hooked to SQL Azure.
If you're using a .NET backend, there's no restriction whatsoever. You can use any database available on Azure or install your own in a VM.
Sorry about the newb question I'm new to Azure.
I've created a new (free) 20mb database in the azure portal which is fine. I'm trying to upload my website database using the 'Export to Azure' sql management studio function. However, instead syncing the DB over to the one I created in the portal it creates a new database. The new DB seems to support a minimum size of 100mb which is way to big for my requirements.
I would be grateful for any advise regarding the best way to proceed. I'm migrating the website in question to Azure, the database is quite small and basically I just need to copy it over and connect to it.
Thanks in advance.

You can use this tool to migrate data Microsoft data migrate assistant
You can download from here. it's very easy to use

there are some migrate mode you can use: ex from Sql to azure Sql like picture bellow
When migrate you can choose migrate schema and data and data only
There is a great tool in Visual Studio Community Edition (free) for comparing both schema and data between two databases on different servers. It can then update the target database with any changes after which you can switch over to use the Azure DB.

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 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
I want to connect my sql server 2005 database using ado.net in silverlight.
I want to connect manually to my database.
Please give me examples of populating gridview in silverlight manually.
Thanks
Silverlight doesn't support ADO.NET. You'll have to make a web service call and have your web method access the database. Check out this article for some help getting started.
Hope this helps!
