+1. You're not going to take switching the db lightly and the chance of "just loading up the data in the new db and switching a config file" without changing any code is slim to none. More likely, you'll create a new client (iPhone App, etc.) that you'll want to talk to the same database. Putting your logic in the db eliminates the need to recode that logic.
