My boss thinks Oracle is the only language to use (even though we've been using Fox since '91) and although I've tried the usual pieces of info I'm still having trouble convincing them.

How is this different from the person who thinks VFP is the correct tool all the time? The fact is, if you are undertaking a new project and have already settled on a particular tool, you are BOTH wrong. You should design and architect a solution INDEPENDENT of a particular technology. If Fox is the right tool, great. If Oracle is the right DBMS, great. If it is SQL Server, so be it.

If Oracle presents a new opportunity for you, why not be open minded about it. The fact is, the political cards may already be stacked against you. If you feel THAT strongly about this, leave. Otherwise, you should probably look at the positive angle that provides an opportunity for you to expand your skill set.
