Mary,
It sounds like you don't have much of a choice about this decision, but…
For fun, I did a quick graph of wikis that are NOT using mysql in WikiApiary.
You can see it here.
http://wikiapiary.com/wiki/Statistics/Database_types
31 out of 5,370 wikis use something other than MySQL, and 25 of those are
Postgres.
(Perhaps this is information that you could use to change this direction?)
Bitnje Wiki is the only one that shows as using Oracle.

Just sharing as maybe you could reach out to them and see how their experience
is.
