how can we integrate help file in oracle forms 11g - oracleforms

I need to show help contents in oracle forms 11g.
I can see "Help book title" property in form's property palette and "Help Book Topic" property in oracle forms items. But I am not able to get any information regarding how to use this.
Please help.

Those properties are no longer supported in Oracle Forms Services. They are relics from the client-server days (Oracle Forms 6i and earlier).
So, you're pretty much on your own for implementing help files. I suggest creating HTML files that are accessible from your Forms server and using the web.show_document() built-in to display them, perhaps from a menu item or button.

Is there a way to embed or include a database file into an html file? If not is there another way I could do something similar?

I'm trying to make a website for an assignment. In this assignment, I have to include examples of some of my work and I want to include a database I made in Microsoft Access, is there anyway I could do this? It preferably has to be in html. The database is just a table, a form and a report.
HTML can't to connect to database alone, you should to use other tecnology together to this be possible, a better way to do it in a web system is to connect through a API, if not know about, google it, have a lot of documentation and tutorial to make modern restful API, for your case that is using microsoft access I found this Microsoft tutorial maybe can help you.

Programs to create input for SQL database

I am recreating an old database that's in MS Access with company data, contacts, conventions etc. but I have never done something like this. In the past few days I learnt to use MS Access and started recreating the tables to fit third form, creating table relationships etc.
But I got stuck when I started searching for a program/programs that could help me create an easy to use visual input form like in MS Access sparing me from having to delve into SQL and HTML.
I am not a native english-speaker so I couldn't really word what I wanted sufficient enough to find related google hits, I have found applications like Aptana Studio, Heidi SQL, Dreamweaver and so on. My question is, is there a program where I can manage the tables inside the database, create forms to input data with, all (if possible) wih a drag-and-drop designer?
I would be grateful for any number guides you guys have links for, because I just couldn't find what I wanted (possibly because of my still lacking programming expertise). Any guides touching on the topic of how to create input sites with HTML/CSS for an SQL database would also helpful if it's not possible to do without using these languages.
Thank you in advance.
Visual Studio, with SQL Server, has all of the features that you are asking for. There are free versions of both, but with limitations.
You can also use a Java and MySQL solution. To manage the database, use MySQL Workbench. For an IDE that has a drag-and-drop designer, use either NetBeans or Eclipse. For more information on either, google "Netbeans form designer" or "Eclipse form designer."
For creating and managing databases you can use the "Sql Server management studio" itself.
If you have MS office, you can use "InfoPath" to create forms and connect them to the Sql Server database. Check this link out which shows how to do it :

Multi column list box in forms 11g

Please have a look at attached file and advise if similar features are available in oracle Form 11g. I tried everything in oracle form 11g but fail to work out. Is it possible to use similar windows features to achieve the same result and how? Many thanks in advance.
enter image description here
Multi column list box is not possible, you can only concatenate your data to show it as one column.
In forms there exists LOV for this type of data.
So I suggest you use this.
If this is not ok for you the only option you got is to use Java pluggable components ( java bean ) to make it yourself.

Sharepoint - Can You Output Unfiltered HTML from a Database?

Our customers have asked for Sharepoint and, of course, we are having to implement features for which Sharepoint wasn't really designed. We are first trying to stretch the in-house webparts as far as we can, so we are doing a lot of the work in stored procedures, user defined functions, and custom views in the MSSQL DB.
I am generating html links from fields in the database and wish to display them in something like a Data View web part. Of course, all of the data being displayed is being filtered so that it shows up as unrendered HTML. Is there a way around this?
Alternatively, is there any type of web part that can connect to another webpart or Data source and display unfiltered text/html from that source?
You need to use the XSLT in the dataview webpart to control the rendering.
You have full control over what html is created. disable-output-escaping if necessary.
I get a feeling you’re customizing SharePoint the wrong way. Either that your I don’t really understand the description of your question. I would appreciate a more detailed description of exactly what you are trying to accomplish.
As far as I know you should NEVER touch the SharePoint database directly. I think you should focus on creating lists, field types, WebParts and whatever SharePoint components you might need; instead of messing around in the content database.
SharePoint got a decent development API. It takes some time to learn, but in the end it’s probably worth it.
You can connect your custom made WebParts in SharePoint, here is a sample.
