I agree, and yet, it's so darned handy if it's a calculation you need quite 
often.

In FileMaker Pro (hold the "boos," please :-) you can have calculated fields -- 
a "pseudo field" that holds references to other fields in an equation.

To do something similar in MySQL, I've used views (which is somewhat clumsy), 
but is there a better way? Or is this necessarily part of domain knowledge 
programming in your interface language?
