Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am Vice President, Associate General Counsel and Assistant Secretary of Oracle Corporation (the “Company”), and I offer this opinion in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about March 19, 2015, in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of 1,503,181 shares of the Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.01 (the “Shares”), issuable pursuant to equity awards assumed by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 21, 2014 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Registrant, Donner Acquisition Corporation, a subsidiary of the Registrant, DataLogix Holdings, Inc. (“DataLogix”) and certain other parties thereto. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company assumed outstanding equity awards of DataLogix under the DataLogix 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, and the Connection Engine, Inc. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (together, the “Plans”).

I have examined such documents and such matters of fact and law as I have deemed necessary to examine relating to the issuance of the Shares. It is my opinion that the Shares, when delivered pursuant to the terms of the Plans, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

I consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and further consent to all references to myself in the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto.

Sincerely,

/s/ BRIAN S. HIGGINS
