Oracle Warehouse Builder Design center can't start

I'm using Oracle Database 11g Enterprise edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 64bit, I want to use warehouse builder which is included in it, but the problem is that I can't open Design center, it gives me the following error.
application could not start correctly (0xc0000018)
could anyone help me with this, I can't find a solution
I finally find a solution to this problem, when you download oracle database 64bit, the warehouse builder is included with it, but the design center is working only with 32bit computers, i don't know why oracle would do that, so i downloaded oracle warehouse builder standalone, and configure it following the steps in the oracle official tutorial, and now it works prefectly.

Oracle clr host

I'm so new to oracle
and I have been ordered to execute .net clr in oracle
but I'm confused now with these concepts

thanks for your replies
,but
i have discovered that each release of oracle has specific corresponding ODAC (oracle Data Access Components) ,and if you install un correct one you will get a lot of problems when deploying .net stored procedure (clr)
for me with oracle 12c release 1
the suitable odac were Release 4 (12.1.0.2.4) For windows x 64 found in this link
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/windows/downloads/index-090165.html
when i installed these components i was able to have visual c# oracle project and then i followed this link tutorial

and every thing in clr was ok

SQL Server 2012 enterprise installation for datawarehouse

I am taking a course related to datawarehousing on SQL Server (by Martin Guidry at lynda.com). He is using SQL Server 2012 Enterprise edition for the demo.
Since this edition is supported only on servers like Microsoft SQL Server 2008, he suggests that any edition of SQL Server with database engine and SSIS can serve the purpose. I have compared the features supported by all editions at the link below, but I am still not sure which one to install..
link-https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645993.aspx#Data_warehouse
If anyone of you have worked on D/W, please suggest which edition to install and from where to download for learning purpose..
Before beginning, you should check that minimum hardware and software requirements to install and run SQL Server 2012 have been met. For operating system and hardware requirements, visit: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506.aspx.
This will install the Database Engine Services, Analysis Services, Reporting Services, and a number of shared features including SQL Server Books Online. Since your taking a course and gaining all the knowledge, i would recommend (if you have the space) to install it all because eventually you will hit on every feature if not in this course, but future courses.
Good Luck!!

Can't add Local Database to project

This might be a really dumb question... but in VS2013 when trying to add a local database to my Windows Forms Application Project the option is now shown in the C# items menu. The only DB that is available is a Service-Based DB. From what I understand, this is related to SQL Compact Edition but I do have SQL Server 2012 installed. Any ideas? Or are there any significant differences between the Local DB and Service-Based DB?
A service-based database is a database that is only accessed through a server. It uses an MDF data file, which is SQL Server format. To be able to connect to a SQL Server database the SQL Server service must be running, because it's that that processes your requests and access the data file.
A local database is one that is local to your application only. It uses an SDF data file, which is SQL Server CE (Compact Edition) format. There is no need to install a server to access an SDF database. You simply distribute the DLLs that constitute SSCE along with your app and access the data file directly.
You'd normally only use SSCE if the data was to be accessed by your app only and there was a relatively small amount of data. For your project you would use SQL Server. For testing purposes you can use the free Express Edition. When deployed you might still use SSEE or you might use a full version of SQL Server. Note that Microsoft include SSEE with their own RMS POS software. SSEE is limited to databases of 4GB though, so even if you start out with SSEE and it can handle the load, you may still have to upgrade at some point in the future based on data capacity.
Source of info:jmcilhinney post.
for help on creating the database have a look at this tutorial it may be of some help.
Hope this info helps you :)
It turns out VS2013 dropped the .sdf format.
Is Microsoft dropping support for SDF database files in Visual Studio?
The answer is yes: Microsoft is silently dropping support (as usual IMHO) to Sql Compact Edition.
It started abandoning Sql CE 3.5 in Vs2012 It continued dropping Sql CE in Sql Management Studio 2012 and finally in VS2013
You can use CompactView or install SQL Server Compact Toolbox extension in VS2013 or (my prefered solution) use Sql management Studio 2008
UPDATE thanks to Nicolas' comment
As stated by Microsoft:
SQL Server compact edition is in deprecation mode with no new releases planned near future. Last release SQL CE 4.0SP1 (and earlier releases that are still in the support cycle) will continue to be supported through its lifecycle and Microsoft is committed to fix any major, production blocking issues found in these releases.
Have you tried adding your local database from inside the project? Have a look and see if you can add your database from datasources.

Which Oracle Client and ODP.NET version should I install (using .NET 3.5)

After quite some time developing with Oracle Client 9.2.0.7, and the ODP.NET to go with it, targeting .NET 1.1, we are upgrading our code line to .NET 3.5 and we are also considering upgrading the Oracle Client version.
I wonder if there are any "gotchas" as to whether specific versions should be used/not used?
For example Oracle Client 9.2.0.4 was known to be buggy with .NET and the upgrade to 9.2.0.7 was non optional.
Apparently the current Oracle Client version is 11.1.0.7.0 (from here). Has anyobody had specific issues with this version and would recommend other version? Sometimes installing the latest release isn't the best choice...
Take a look at the following document from Metalink, it might help. It contains a matrix of ODP Driver Version, Supported Operating System, SQL*Net, RDBMS, .NET Framework, and Visual Studio.
Subject: Oracle Data Provider for .NET (ODP) Supported Configurations
Doc ID: 726240.1
If all you need to do is talk to Oracle, then you can use my instructions found here for the Oracle 11 Client XCopy deploy.
The latest version is the only version that you can use if you have visual studio 2008 unless you don't want any of the snazzy add ins that Oracle provides with it (such as SQLPlus and such). I use the latest version to connect to a 10g database just fine.
