       The following information is filed to amend the original Statement on
Schedule 13D dated November 18, 1999 ("Schedule 13D") of Oracle Corporation
("Oracle") with respect to the Common Stock of Carleton Corporation
("Carleton").  Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms shall have
the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

Item 1.  Security and Issuer.

       Item 1 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to state the following:

       The class of equity security to which this statement relates is the
Common Stock, $0.01 par value, of Carleton Corporation.  The address of
Carleton's principal executive office is: 8500 Normandale Lake Blvd., Suite 300,
Bloomington, Minnesota 55437.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

       Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to state the following:

       Oracle acquired the shares of Carleton Common Stock pursuant to the
Merger Agreement with funds from its working capital for an aggregate amount of
approximately $8,214,475.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

       Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to state the following:

       On January 21, 2000, Oracle completed its acquisition of Carleton
pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the Plan of Merger.  Buyer Subsidiary
merged with and into Carleton, with Carleton being the surviving corporation,
and each issued and outstanding share of Common Stock of Carleton was converted
into the right to receive $2.45 in cash, without interest, pursuant to the
Merger Agreement and the Plan of Merger.

       The Option that Carleton granted to Oracle prior to the consummation of
the Merger to purchase a certain number of shares of Carleton Common Stock,
exercisable upon the occurrence of certain specified events, was never
exercised.  As a result of the consummation of the Merger, Oracle beneficially
owns 100 shares, or 100%, of the outstanding Carleton Common Stock.  Other than
in connection with the Merger described above, the reporting person has no plans
or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the matters listed in
paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

       Copies of the Merger Agreement and the Plan of Merger  were included as
Exhibits to the Schedule 13D and are incorporated herein by reference.  The
foregoing description of such agreements is qualified in its entirety by
reference to such Exhibits.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

       Paragraphs (a) - (d) of Item 5 of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended to
read as follows:

       (a)  After the consummation of the Merger, Oracle beneficially owns 100
shares of Carleton Common Stock, as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3.

       (b)  Oracle has the sole power to vote and dispose of the 100 shares of
Carleton Common Stock that it beneficially owns.

       (c)  Other than the acquisition of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the
consummation of the Merger, Oracle has not engaged in any transaction in the
past sixty days with respect to the Common Stock of Carleton.

       (d)  No other person is known to have the right to receive or the power
to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds of the sale of, the
subject securities.
