I think it is an opportunity to make some good code, then explain to the boss that it works well, and why. With Ruby and/or Rails it should be a lot easier to implement. Just remember though, that one thing that can kill a Rails application is trying to bend it to fit an existing database too much. Build your database to fit your application, then if you need to translate that to an existing database, build a bridge.
