My old boss literally said they don't trust other databases. I tried to push for postgres. But they insisted only oracle is professional. Our software only worked with an oracle backend. I no longer work there.

Isn't the whole "thing" about JPA (and all other ORMs ever) that you're supposed to "use it" instead of directly doing well optimized native queries on your database so that you can jump ship if the database provider turns out to be shit?
