Can I connect my apex account to Oracle Form Builder or SQL Developer?
I have Apex.oracle.com Account. Can I connect this account to my SQL Developer in local machine? and in Oracle Form Builder?
An APEX account is very different from a database account. The APEX account only allows you to access the APEX builder application.
You cannot connect to the database behind apex.oracle.com via SQL Developer or any other tool that relies on creating a database connection. You can only connect to the APEX builder application via a web browser.
Oracle provides the express edition of the database (Oracle XE 11g) that you can download and run on your local machine free for whatever you'd like to do (including running commercial apps if you'd like). If you are running a local database, you can create Oracle database accounts that you can access via SQL Developer as well as creating APEX accounts that you can access to develop APEX applications in the APEX builder.

You can deploy it directly from SSMS. Right click a database in the Object Explorer pane select Tasks - > Deploy database to Windows Azure SQL Database command:
In the Deployment Settings click the Connect button, and connect to your Azure Server:
Click Next:
Review summary, and click Finish:
After successful deployment connect to your Azure Server in SSMS and you'll see your database:

If you encountered an error during the deployment check the list of limitations in Azure SQL Database:

I am currently developing a windows store application, I need to connect my app with sql server 2008 R2 Db, some sql classes are not working in the WinRT API, please any one suggest me on this and tell me which RDBMS I can use to connect with.
Thanks
You can't. The reason being that you can't put that kind of restriction on a store app, you should have no dependancy on an external database being available.
You can use sqlite however, and here is a guide: http://timheuer.com/blog/archive/2012/08/07/updated-how-to-using-sqlite-from-windows-store-apps.aspx
If you are wanting to connect to a database to pull data from it (as an enterprise app for example) then you can use web services as a wrapper around the database.
My course requires me to connect to an Oracle database server at the university for my project. I am provided with a url (like oracle.xyz.edu) and username and password. How can I connect to the database from Visual Studio. I have only dealt with SQL Server 2008. I don't know how to go ahead with setting up the database. I tried to install Oracle Instant Client, but could not find a setup exe to install. The instant client download zip consists of a set of files. Where can I find the steps to connect to Oracle database from VS.
Do you need to use the Oracle Instant Client? Or would it be acceptable to you to download and install the full version of the Oracle client?
The full version of the Oracle client is generally what ought to be installed on a developer machine. The Instant Client is a very slimmed down version of the client that is designed for developers to distribute along with their Windows applications on machines that do not have or need any way to access the database other than via the application. As a developer, I'd strongly recommend the full version of the Oracle client if only because it includes various additional utilities like SQL*Plus and SQL*Loader.
The full Oracle client is available for download from OTN on the same page that the database is available. For example, the Oracle 11.2 client for 64-bit Windows is a 615 MB download on the OTN site.
Don't use ODBC. Use ODP.NET (Oracle's Instant Client) Oracle Data Provider for .NET. (Read technical notes in provided link.)
