Tom,
You said: "The more I dig into the current database that I'm troubleshooting
the less I appreciate non-standard, if brilliant, approaches."
Let me just say, I *hate* clever brilliant approaches compared to standard
straightforward approaches to problem solving. Clever & brilliant to me
mean just what you said - somebody else's "nightmare" long after the person
has left, while straightforward documented processes are much easier to
maintain.

It seems to me a case of "You pays your money and you picks your poison."
You have institutional standards (and an institutional body of
knowledge) for OCI in applications. As long as the standards don't
change and the knowledge isn't lost it looks as if it will work fine
for you.
In other institutions, where contractors come and go on an annual
basis, I would think that DB links are more widely understood and
easier to implement and troubleshoot.
The more I dig into the current database that I'm troubleshooting the
less I appreciate non-standard, if brilliant, approaches. Remember,
long after you're gone, someone is going to have to maintain the work
that you did.
