RE: Database programming standards

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...
