Enterprise world is so full of insanity that this is just a non-issue. The company is going to waste a lot of money but who cares? You, as a developer, are lucky enough to work with Oracle, which is an excellent db.
Here, I am forced to fill excel sheets for deployments (I have to write "compile this package here" or "copy/paste the executable here" -- no kidding), which are checked by a committee on tuesday and executed on the next thursday. No deployments are allowed in other days of week, except for very critical stuff.
So, the insanity is everywhere, and choosing the wrong database vendor is just the top of the iceberg.
