Zipcar started in 2000/2001 on Oracle and relied heavily on stored procedures, particularly in billing (as SaaS didn't exist back when it started and was a bad fit for a long time). It took an entire rewrite of the system to get off of Oracle.
I've heard the exact same thing about DB2, Sybase and Terradata over the years. It's not some uniquely Oracle issue.
