Donald,

My sympathies.  At least you get to tell them that:

1).  It will cost them time and money to move all of the logic to their
application now.
2).  Long term, you will guarantee that response-time of the application
will slow because of the sql-reuse issue.
3).  It is stupid idea to now change the implementation plan.

You may change the order of the above to suite your purpose.

Good Luck!

We are undergoing this battle. The project that I am assigned to hired
contractors who brought in pl/sql programmers and put 90% of the logic and
business rules in the backend implemented as pl/sql.  Now the project end is
in sight and all the full-time staff programmers (hired more recently) are
.net programmers who want to rip it all out and put it into the front end.
Why?  "Because the job will be much easier long-term after they are
gone."<g>
