Bob, when you think of an argument, let me know. Let me remind you of the topic of the argument:

Should application developers design their applications such that the DBMS is strongly decoupled from the high level policies of the application? If not, why not?

To say this a different way, should a good application be designed in layers such that some of those layers know about SQL and APIs like JDBC; while higher level layers know nothing of those details and depend upon services of the lower layers?
