True enough; the binding tool handled this. The system of record was in the app server. The db was considered slaved to the app, and more-or-less tightly coupled to it (within reason). This provides a really solid mental model. Side-note: the GP comment was actually doing pretty well (like +7) now it's (+2) so a cadre of anti-stored proc folks did a drive by down-voting. A bit sad, IMO.
