Stored Procedures - End of days

Question

I’m listening to the Hanselminutes Podcast; \"StackOverflow uses ASP.NET MVC - Jeff Atwood and his technical team\". During the course of the Podcast they are speaking about SQL

Answer 1

When you combine SPs with logic with the database itself, you effectively convert the DB in to something akin to an Application Server.

Back when this was the hammer that was most handy, it made a lot of sense. But now with ubiquitous availability of Application Servers, it makes more sense to leverage them for things like centralized logic and business rules and rely on the DB for persistence only.
