I'm still pretty firmly in the camp which believes that a lot of logic ('business rules,' if you like that phrase) should reside in the database. IMHO DBAs are useful, in much the same way that ops folks are useful: they have a different skillset and point-of-view than do developers, and are a necessary component of any team dealing with data.

That flashy web app written today will be thrown away tomorrow, but the data gathered by that app will live on in other apps for as long as the company is in business (and maybe longer depending on the type of data).
