So don't use the database for what it is intended because...it might be harder? I very much disagree with this article. It is not so simple to just declare no business logic in the DB when the DB schema itself IS a BIG part of the business logic. When working with data, the best place to work with the data is where it is stored, not pulled out and put back in. And your app is more likely to be replaced long before the data and/or database is. Stop treating the database like a black box and use it for what it is intended.
