My point of view is that a database is for storage, not for logic...
I used to think that way too. But, based on my personal experience, in certain conditions and requirements, implementing logic in database is inevitable. That's why many databases support server side logic though it's implemented in various ways (UDF, SP, SF, etc).
But I also agree that we shouldn't use this mechanism at all time. Each decision and choice has its own consequences. ;)
