Re: patch update from 7.3.2 to 7.3.4.5.1 need help

Usually, Oracle brings out cumulative patches on the base level. Your base level is 7.3.2.0.0. You want to apply patch 7.3.4.5.1, which indicates to me it is applicable to 7.3.4.0.0.

Ergo: you'll need to upgrade first (7.3.2 to 7.3.4).

I have always found this info in the readme file.

Oracle broke this cumulative patch for the last time with 8.1.6.1.2 - this patch needed 81211 as minimum.
81630 is a full, cumulative patch again.
