This may be useful in the database domain, but I don't think it applied to most web contexts.
Most web applications don't bother with database security - it muddles the logic and prevents things like pooling, scale, etc
For more traditional web apps - typically you have two sources accessing the database - the Web Application and the Administrators. Both of which have access to nearly everything anyway.
This might stop some malicious code from accessing the database improperly - but the fact is, if someone can manipulate the code you've already lost anyway (they could simply just capture the passwords at entry for example).
