As we know 20.1 is launched on 23rd april.
I tried to download it but i am using apex.oracle.com for learning. How do i upgrade that to 20.1?
I downloaded the 20.1 set up but cannot understand how to install/upgrade?
apex.oracle.com is managed by Oracle and is always upgraded to a pre-release version of Oracle APEX prior to the full public release of APEX. As of this writing (April 26, 2020), apex.oracle.com is already upgraded to production APEX 20.1.
If you wish to download the latest version of APEX for on-premises installation, you can simply go to https://apex.oracle.com/download.
If I correctly understood the question, you'd want to upgrade Apex version which you use on apex.oracle.com.
If that's so, no - you can't do that. Oracle guys will do it when they find appropriate. Usually there's a notice on that site about "scheduled maintenance" or something like that.

Oracle Database Express Edition (Oracle Database XE). Preferably latest version.
Oracle Application Express (APEX) 18.1 or greater. Preferably latest version.
Oracle WebLogic, Glassfish, TomCat, etc. as long as it supports ORDS
Oracle REST Data Services (ORDS) release 3.0.12 or later.
Is 1 and 2 installation same as windows? why do I need 3 and 4?
XE latest version of Database isn't available for Windows yet, but will be soon. For now, you have an 11gR2 version of XE.
I'd wait a bit if you can for the 18c version of XE to drop for Windows.
Installation of XE or the database on Windows is via a GUI installer for both the server and creating a database and it's services. On NIX, you have YUM or RPM solutions, which are generally easier (personal opinion).
APEX installation happens in the database itself, process is the same regardless of your OS.
Tomcat or WLS aren't required, but are there to help manage ORDS (Java EE app). Most customers setup Apache with Tomcat for ORDS and APEX.
ORDS itself makes things inside the database available via HTTPS - one of those things is your APEX applications.
ORDS can also be ran as a standalone process, and this also gives you a built-in webserver (Jetty.)
Finally, if you're using ORDS, you can also build and deliver REST APIs for your database.
P.S. You could also use Docker to make things easier. Joel Kallman shows how here.
Our DB team is upgrade Oracle to 12C. We currently have Sonar 4.3.2. Is Sonar 4.3.2 compatible with Oracle 12C.
There is an open ticket on the matter and no support yet: http://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/SONAR-6768
No roadmap is defined, but support might very much not comes first with oldest versions of SQ, upgrade to latest LTS version or latest version might be required.
I had to connect my Oracle 10g XE (10.2.0.1) with Visual Studio 2012.
Since I found that 10g is not compatible now, so I want to migrate it to higher version - 12c.
I have successfully installed Oracle 12c Enterprise Edition, but it's upgrade assistant says that you have to upgrade your 10g (10.2.0.1) to the version 10.2.0.5, then DB can be migrated to 12c.
Question: How to upgrade Oracle 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.5 ?
I couldn't find the patch links from internet, I have searched a lot on the internet but didn't not get an amazing solution that resolves my problem in one shot.
This message is an error in the installer. It is applicable to other editions of Oracle (for example to a Standard Edition) but XE does not have such version as 10.2.0.5. Even with an Oracle support contract paid, there is simply no such version on metalink. You need to export-import like described in this question.
You need a metalink account to download this patch (legally); it's probably easier to export the database and import it into a fresh 12c instance.
ODP.NET 11.2.0.3.0 was released on December 28, 2011 and its description says that it contains Oracle Instant Client 11.2.0.3.0. Since I'm distributing the Instant Client binaries directly with my application I'm using the Basic Lite version of the instant client to reduce file sizes. So I tried to download the new Basic Lite version like I previously did when ODP.NET was updated, but there is no Win32 download of Oracle Instant Client 11.2.0.3.0. The download page shows 11.2.0.2.0 as the latest version.
Is the new Basic Lite version available anywhere? Or can I just use the old one?
edit: Found an answer to the second question myself in the release notes:
ODP.NET requires Oracle Client 11.2.0.3.0 or Oracle Instant Client
11.2.0.3.0.
Unless you ran into a specific bug on 11.2.0.2.0 that you know is fixed in 11.2.0.3.0, you should be fine with 11.2.0.2.0.

Just to update an old question, 11.2.0.3.0 for Windows 32-bit is now (as of July 2013) available on the downloads page that the question references: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/winsoft-085727.html
Thanks to the Oracle forum I've now found the lite DLL in the non-xcopy download (ODTwithODAC112030.zip).
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.
