Little point in preaching to the chuiar of course (how do you spell that damn word ?).

Go tell this on an Otherwise Oriented forum, you'll get dawnbashed.

That said, application code is still highly important because it's needed to fill all the holes that current dbms's still leave wide open in the area of constraint enforcement.

Little true story : some OO proponent in a seminar (well, it was actually "in front of an audience") declared that integrity enforcement is the responsibility of the application, blahblahblah (he also promoted meaningless ID's everywhere in the same breath). I asked him if he was actually aware that the first letter of the word IT stood for
"information". His reply was : Yes, but the second stands for
"technology".
