Well you could try the following from our upper management on for size:
" All,
We want to push postgres SQL as the primary DB of choice for all new
applications.
We should add a notation in the IDLC stating such and should push back on
anyone who wishes to use Oracle or SQL.
If the requirement is such that Oracle/MSSQL is needed, then we can acquiesce,
but if there is no hard requirement for these DB's them PG SQL should be our
defacto standard.
-Best regards,"

I expect the pluggable database sales pitch has very similar text in it for
