Oracle and the 2008 FEC election cycle

Two filters produce $231,106: the grouping Oracle and the 2008 election cycle. FEC.gov individual-contribution tables supply 265 contributions and 101 donors. $3,920,641 is the all-cycle denominator for the same stored string, so 2008 is about 5.9% of that bucket. Not an oracle pac, not oracle america as a separate stored employer, and not a federal it-contract total.

Key figures

  • Oracle × 2008 is $231,106 in itemized individual contributions.
  • The cell includes 265 contributions from 101 donors.
  • 2008 is about 5.9% of the grouping’s $3,920,641 all-cycle total.
  • The label is self-reported form text (software employer text), not a PAC.
  • FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.

How the Oracle 2008 intersection is built

Public records on FEC.gov group itemized individual receipts by employer or occupation text and by election cycle. This file is the Oracle row of the 2008 column: $231,106, 265 contributions, 101 donors. The packet does not list candidate names, party splits, or committee IDs.

Software employer text is the dimension on one side; the two-year 2008 tag is the other. Not an oracle pac, not oracle america as a separate stored employer, and not a federal it-contract total. ORACLE CORP, ORACLE CORPORATION, and ORACLE AMERICA are other keys. Those neighboring strings have their own overlays if they exist.

Do not cite $3,920,641 as a 2008 total. Do not cite $231,106 as the lifetime Oracle total. Each number answers a different filter. 2008 is a presidential even-year window on FEC.gov; that calendar label does not explain the dollar cell.

The lifetime Oracle denominator

5.9% is $231,106 divided by $3,920,641. That arithmetic uses only packet facts. The leftover 94.1% equals $3,689,535 and lives on other cycle pages for Oracle. A mid-single-digit share (or any other share this packet happens to show) is not a peak-year claim.

$3,920,641 is a sum of itemized individual receipts grouped to ORACLE across cycles in this table. It is not assets, payroll, or a federal award total. Sharing a calendar year with USAspending records does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. Keep the 5.9% attached to Oracle and 2008 together.

How the $231,106 cell was built

Dividing $231,106 by 265 contributions yields about $872 per itemized gift. Dividing by 101 donors yields about $2,288 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 2.6. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians, not a party split, and not a typical-gift claim.

101 unique donors are contributor identities, not a headcount of employees, licensees, or members. Retirees and household members who reuse a workplace or title can appear. Repeat gifts raise the contribution count faster than the donor count. The overlay for Oracle 2008 holds the rows.

What the 2008 hub still hides

The 2008 election cycle hub includes every stored employer and occupation for that window. Oracle is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a cycle-wide denominator, so no national share is stated. Open 2008 election cycle to drop the employer filter and Oracle to drop the year.

Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $231,106 cell because the cycle is a two-year tag, not a single Tuesday. That mechanical fact is easy to forget when a searcher wants an election-night number. The overlay is where dates become visible. This join publishes the cycle total, the 265 contributions, the 101 unique donors, and the 5.9% share of $3,920,641.

What this join is not

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $231,106. Federal awards in other databases are different datasets. Sharing an employer string and a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. The page is software employer text, not an Oracle PAC, not Oracle America as a separate stored employer, and not a federal IT-contract total.

Correlation between an employer string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 101 donors, and 265 contributions. ORACLE CORP, ORACLE CORPORATION, and ORACLE AMERICA are other keys. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. Live hubs override this snapshot. If the overlay disagrees, the overlay and FEC.gov control.

Where to send a reader next

Start with $231,106, then Oracle 2008 for rows, then Oracle or 2008 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: ORACLE, 2008, $231,106, 265 contributions, 101 donors, 5.9% of $3,920,641, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.

The 5.9% share, the 101-donor count, and the $872 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a successor label or a sibling employer word and they stop being facts from this packet. This prose is a packet snapshot. 265 itemized contributions totaling $231,106 average about $872 per line. Unitemized gifts never appear. Campaign contributions are not federal awards.

Questions

How much did Oracle donors give in 2008?
FEC.gov aggregates show $231,106 in itemized individual contributions for the Oracle grouping in the 2008 cycle, across 265 contributions and 101 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $3,920,641 all-cycle figure. Independent expenditures are not included.
What share of Oracle FEC money is 2008?
The grouping’s all-cycle total is $3,920,641. The 2008 cell of $231,106 is about 5.9% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 94.1% ($3,689,535) on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell.
Does this include only currently employed Oracle workers?
No. The bucket is the self-reported string ORACLE. The FEC does not verify licenses, current jobs, or corporate identity. Related phrases may sit in other groupings. This join reports the string match for 2008 only, totaling $231,106 from 101 donors across 265 contributions.
Where is the overlay for the Oracle 2008 join?
Open Oracle 2008 for the cycle overlay, Oracle for the grouping hub, and 2008 election cycle for the year without this employer filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON file names the join; the overlay holds the itemized rows. Cite FEC.gov for $231,106, 265 contributions, and 101 donors.
