You have posted a good architectural question yet nobody here could truly answer that for you with the general description of your system.
My experience is that Shit Flows Downhill so head higher up the hill and ask a person more closely involved with the customer, contractor, etc..
This might be a good time for an evolutionary prototype where you create a business tier class that allows for more portability. You then create some PL/SQL, T-SQL , (whatever RDBMS you are using) code and test the performance differences. Show the results to the guy higher on the hill and explain to them the benefits of both solutions. You will soon hear what they truly want. This is also good from a job security standpoint because creating this type of presentation and keeping an email trail can always show that you considered all possible scenarios. Somebody comes to you later on and says "what the f*ck bill? We can't ever get this over to MySql now.. What were you thinking?" You just show them your prototype and email trail and watch them scurry off to bitch at somebody else.
My other experiences have shown me that these guys higher on the hill aren't worth a damn unless they have something they can actually see in front of them anyway.:)
I see this as eventually being the wave of the future. Doesn't it see intuitive that our society will move to the point where all

will be stored in some global government controlled repository where a fingerprint or retina scan can retrieve it. People will laugh at the day where they had to carry a drivers license and cash around on them 24/7.
I'm not saying that I look forward to the day big brother is looking over me like that but the ease of convienence will eventually win out with the western culture. Besides... perhaps we could get a neutral county like Sweden to hold the info..:)
I being a Microsoft croonie am sorry to say that I don't see this revolution of linux and freeBSD slowing down. I have always worked developing in microsofts products and their latest.Net platform is a pleasure to work with.
That being said I also realize that the only reason Bill comes up with these development platforms is to increase his hold on the desktop market. Yet WHY then with the success of open-source software on the rise would they still be charging schools and university's for their products. This is where their user base is created from!! In addition this this fact( which bothers me immensly ) they have also come out with their latest aggravating anti-piracy tool "pain in the ass" activation. Now I can't even move my legal copy of XP from one computer to another without having to go through the activation process again. This is a big mistake in my opinion. I know there are already hacks for this feature but if they ever come out with a version of their operating system that can't be used illeagally I see them going down in
FLAMES. If people in poor developing countries can't use their system to learn on along with the educational community in first world countries, there choke-hold on this industry will quickly be loosened.
THAT is precisely one of the primary reasons that Roy Disney left. I heard he was growing quite frustrated with the CEO and was bewildered as to why the company had not renegotiated its contract with Pixar back when it first realized the companies full potential.
I have also seen a survey where the executives at Disney where voted as one of the worst management teams in our country
There are already many scientists quickly refuting this studies numbers. Climate over time gradual shifts in temperature between ice ages. As we can see by the history of many of our planet's animals, life is quite resiliant and this is something the study doesn't take into account.
What we should really be concerned with and talking more about is the destruction of natural habitats such as the rain forests. This issue is constantly becoming more serious and will surely cause more animal extinctions then the slow rate of global warming we are experiencing.
