Nice question, overall.
Answers (partial list):
- it's cool
- where I work, we have a HUGE database-driven web-application. A lot of
our businness logic is implemented via stored procedures, that
act as black boxes for the web-designers.
Think of enterprise java beans.
They are not "nonsense" or such. They are usefull.
(I know, you can use ejb with JDBS and mysql..., but if you want to have
some logic incapsualted, you should use some kind of "component")
- sp extends the RDBMS itself in its functionality. Think about some stupid
"check_fiscal_code()" or "insert_new_customer()".
Web designers use the "insert_new_customer", instead of using SQL
directly.
I think that there are others examples, but this is my point.
