To the best of my knowledge, Oracle Apex looks similar to Oracle SQL Developer. For all of my database development life, I have only used SQL Developer.
Are there any specific feature sets available in Apex that are available in developing Oracle databases that are not in SQL Developer, and visa versa?
Welcome to SO.
SQL Developper is a GUI tool to run ad hoc queries, develop stored procedures and similar, more like a GUI version of, command line tool, sqlplus.
On the other hand Apex is more for prototyping/developping some custom applications that some end user (or admin) would access using the browser (HTML interface).

I find myself in a position to work on Oracle Express for a project. Just curious will it continue to work with given provider in enterprise edition?
Is there any difference in Oracle provider for Entity Framework between Oracle Express & Enterprise Edition 12c?
Yes, it will work. ODP.Net (managed and unmanaged) can connect to all versions of Oracle and also to any platform. A good starting point to read is the Oracle Data Provider for .NET FAQ
And no, there is no difference.

I am trying to learn Oracle SQL with the help of the book 'Oracle SQL by Example' and it recommends that I download Oracle 11g to be able to take full advantage of what the book has on offer when it comes to practising the skills I learn.
However, Oracle's website seems not to offer 11g for Mac and I cannot find a link to 10g that is still valid (or, indeed, that doesn't dead end at the Oracle website). Does anyone have any suggestions. Thanks.
The simplest route might be to install VirtualBox and one of the pre-built VM images Oracle provides. It's simpler to get started than having to navigate the database software installation and DB creation, if you aren't interested in those aspects at the moment.
The Database App Development VM gives you a pre-installed database, plus SQL*Plus and SQL Developer to run examples and your own code as you learn.

Our production Oracle Database version is 10g.
I am trying to install either 11g or 12c on my local machine primarily to access sqlldr.
I am wondering if there are any compatible issues.
Metalink has the definitive client/ server compatibility matrix. It will depend on the full version of the target database. Assuming "10g" means 10.2.0.2 or later, you should be fine with a 12.1 client. If the database is running something earlier than that, you'd generally need an earlier version of the client to be safe.

I'm using mysql as xampp(linux) component for my development works for a long time. But I wonder if I can use Oracle as my database. If I can which version should I choose that will fulfill my needs of production level development.
Also I've heard Oracle EE requires money for licensing. What facility they provide by licensing Oracle DB? Can it be used for development?(I'm just curious)
Oracle provides Oracle XE (Express edition) free for developer use which allows you to create and use databases of up to 4GB, use up to 1GB of RAM and use only one CPU. Anything more you gotta pay for it

I have to prepare an application server for deployment of an application implemented in Oracle 10g forms. The server which i will using is Sun Blade X6270 M3. Now the issue is that on my asking from developer (who happens to be a total jerk) that which application server should i be using, he said any which ever you like.
All i am aware about application is that it will be available via url.
Honestly, i am confused here, please assist me in selecting the application server for an application developed in Oracle 10g forms. I don't to waste my time by installing a wrong application server and i also cannot ask developer to guide me.
Thus seeking your help. A link to download the server would really assist me and please do mention if it is freeware or not.
You need OracleAS Forms Services to run Forms. With Forms 10g that means Oracle Application Server. For Forms 11g (and later) that means Oracle WebLogic Server.
