This would be worth saying if we had a suitable definition of "business
rule". I haven't seen one, though. Clearly, application-specific stuff
should be in some application--specific location, and business-wide data
integrity constraints should be in some industry-wide location to
prevent duplication and potential inconsistency. The question of which
one is called "business rules" is rather null in meaning. I couldn't
even tell which of the above you are talking about until you implied it
in the above statement.
