Sounds like both your database and your DBA are dinosaurs ;-).
If you can't get your DBA to update from Oracle 8 to modern Oracle,
you've got zip chance of persuading him to deal with Postgres,
so I think you're wasting your time worrying about left-join syntax.
After you waste a man-year or so on that, he'll just find something
else to complain about.
