Oracle recently released new version of Application Express 5.1.2 Patch #: 25786300.
After some research I found out that I cannot download this patch without having support account of oracle which requires Support Identifier to get registered does that means that patches are not free and we have to purchase a service to get patches for oracle apex?
Yes - you must have a support contract for incremental patches.
You can, however, download the complete patched 5.1.2 version from Oracle and install it.

We have a legacy application, currently using ojdbc6.jar which cannot be upgraded now. However we want to upgrade to Oracle 19c. Can we use ojdbc6.jar with Oracle 19c?
If the answer is no, then can we set compatible to 11.2.0 to be able to use ojdbc6.jar?
Normally you can use older drivers for newer databases. You just can not use the newer features of the newer database. If the driver is really old, the dba can change the sqlnet.ora on the server to allow connections from older versions.
For example: SQLNET.ALLOWED_LOGON_VERSION_CLIENT=11 allows a client from version 11 to connect to the databases.
Better is to make sure the app is upgraded for support of the latest LTS release. In this case that would be 19c. Allowing older versions to connect can have security considerations.
In the jdbc Frequently Asked Questions you will find a lot of information.
I want to install oracle apex 20.1 with oracle database 10g.I search google and it seems like oracle apex not supported on oracle database 10g
As you've already noticed, that won't work.
If you want to install Apex on 10g, that would probably be Apex 4.0 (as its minimum supported database version is 10.2.0.3).
Apex 20.1 requires at least 11.2.0.4.
Therefore:
upgrade the database (10g is really old; I'd consider that option first), or
install lower (much lower) Apex version if you manage to acquire it as - currently - the lowest Apex version available for download is Apex 5.0 which requires database 11.1.0.7.
Basically, you're pretty much out of luck with your database version ...
I am altering a legacy software implemented with java spring. Now the challenge is I want to determine the appropriate Database that was used during the initial development.
I have seen somewhere on the code that that the hibernate dialect was org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle9Dialect
So i want to use that piece information to determine which version of oracle to install.
Please i am new to Oracle, So a link to an appropriate url will be appreciated.
9 is an older version of Oracle Database that is no longer supported, and it is no longer available for download from Oracle's Database Software Downloads page. The Oracle9Dialect was deprecated back in 2008, so I wish you the best of luck with your legacy work because I'm sure it is long overdue.
You can request version 9 from Oracle if you have a valid Oracle Database product license (any version,) but if you do not, your options will likely only be third party hosts or acquiring installation media for version 9 by some other means. If you are working with an organization that has you supporting this legacy software, you may have some luck looking through old installation media or asking someone who has been with the company for a while.
From Oracle (bottom of Database Software Downloads page):
Oracle Database 10.2 and 11.1 are no longer available for download. The software is available as a media or FTP request for those customers who own a valid Oracle Database product license for any edition. To request access to these releases, follow the instructions in Oracle Support Document 1071023.1 (Requesting Physical Shipment or Download URL for Software Media) from My Oracle Support. NOTE: for Oracle Database 10.2, you should request 10.2.0.1 even if you want to install a later patch set. Once you install 10.2.0.1 you can then apply any 10.2 patch set. Similarly, for 11.1 request 11.1.0.6 which must be applied before installing 11.1.0.7. Patch sets can be downloaded from the Patches and Updates tab on My Oracle Support.
I have spent at least one hour trying to find the tar.gz for Linux, for version 11.1 or at least 10.5. All IBM links either don't work or take me to general DB2 pages that have nothing for Express-C. It's as if IBM is hiding the download links. In the past I have downloaded it several times from URLs that now don't work. I was only able to find the Windows version at a non-IBM site (a version I don't want).
Thanks for any pointers.
You can find the Express-C download at the below link:

If you are not using cloud based Db2 offerings, at the present date you can choose only between a docker-image based solution (IBM Db2 Developer Community Edition), or a trial version (90 days) of locally installed Db2.
The docker-image solution is currently V11.1 based and runs on Linux and Mac and Windows provided that the prerequisites are met.
Both offerings are accessible via this link

Re Db2 Express-C, it may have been withdrawn from marketing. Study this thread:
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/forums/html/topic?id=c53df683-6e51-41fa-96ce-0a3d7cfe741f&ps=25
If you have a Passport Advantage contract (for paying customers) you may find additional downloads.
Db2 Developer-C Edition is a non-docker version that can be used for non-production use for free

We got Clearcase multisite environment which includes four sites...
• Main site hosted on RHEL 5.3 (Tikanga) with CC version 7.1.2.5
• Two more sites hosted on Solaris 10 with CC version 7.0.1.8.
• Last site on Windows server 2003 SP2 with CC version 7.0.1.8
database schema version: 54
VOB family feature level: 5
License is Atria.
we are looking forward to upgrade to clearcase version 8.x due to end of support of 7.1.2 version.
Believe lots of folks could have done this, Appreciate if you could share your experience and upgrade guide for us.
Waiting for your valuable updates.
Have started my planning, will update this thread with my question and my finding too.
Mostly windows client with version 7.0.1.8, Can this same version talk to CC server with 8.X ?

Mostly windows client with version 7.0.1.8, Can this same version talk to CC server with 8.X ?
That would be addressed by the "Compatibility across releases for ClearCase clients and servers"
That shows CC clients and view servers, even in 7.0.x, are mostly compatible with a Vob Server in 8.x.
Having done many migrations of that type, you want to:
test that compatibility of those old clients with a test vob server
Make sure new CC clients are available for users to migrate when they are ready
Check that uninstalling their old client / installing the new ClearTeam 7.x client is documented (because they might have to re-create their views, since ClearTeam supports now dynamic view and special snapshot "web" views)
