If it is just the CODE you want in the RDBMS, you could of course just use stored procedures; they can be coded in Java (or c# in coming version of SQLServer). This would naturally exclude client-side code, but HTML-applications could be (and probably are being) done this way.
But frankly, I don't think that is the real issue. The problem is code, because
- somebody has to code it
- somebody has to maintain it and
- your business logic will be hided and dispersed in the code
The solution is to get rid of code
