Groan! Please tell me that first line should change from "an expert in the past" to "a person who in the past was considered an expert"! :(

Gosh, this sounds like a rather heated discussion I had with an expert in the past. His position was that the database was for storing data...only for storing data. No RI, no check constraints, no stored procs, no triggers. His argument was that anything related to business rules belonged in the application layer.

Other bits stripped...
