Software giant Oracle Corp. reported higher profit and roughly flat revenue in the latest quarter.

The Silicon Valley company, best known for its corporate database software, reported $9.61 billion in revenue for the quarter ended Nov. 30, missing analysts' projected $9.65 billion, according to FactSet.

Profit for the second quarter rose to $2.31 billion, or 69 cents a share. On an adjusted basis, profit rose to 90 cents a year, from 80 cents a share a year earlier. Analysts surveyed by FactSet expected a profit of 68 cents a share, or 89 cents a share as adjusted.

It was the company's first earnings report since the October death of Mark Hurd, who had shared the post of chief executive with Safra Catz.
