However I have no hard evidence to back up drawing the line there ratherthan somewhere else. Anyone have data on what sort of DDL changes are common in their applications?
I've worked in environments where we used stored functions extensively and where we didn't. Table DDL is generally fairly common in both cases, and if stored functions or views are used, it's very common for table DDL to trigger updates in views and functions. It's fairly common to have to update just functions to kill bugs or change functionality. Trigger changes are a bit less frequent, and views are probably the least frequent.
