Where Does the Business Logic Belong?

Posted by Cliff on from the chosing-a-design-strategy dept.

logic-Dilemma queries: "I'm currently working in a big project that involves creating tons of reports. These reports require extensively data operation and manipulation in order to be build, and most of that can be handled directly by the DBMS (which would greatly increase performance and implementation time). However, letting all business logic sit in the database implies that we will be extremely attached to one vendor, which kills any attempt at portability. What would you do to tackle this dilemma? Have you ever faced a situation in which the choice between clean design/portability versus performance would change dramatically the whole system design? What have you chosen?"

    Eh -

    Just last week I was offered a job porting a bunch of business rules written in MS SQL stored procedures to Oracle stored procedures at a nice fat billing rate.

    Fight unemployment! Use stored procedures!

    What is even better is when they break between releases from the same vendor. Ka-Ching!!

    The best place for buiness logic in in Access Macros!!! It's even better when you have access link to Excell tables for it's data!!!!

    Don't use Access Visual Basic - clippy will come down hard on you!!!! Macros are where it's at!!! Marcos are even unicode compliant - so localisation is really EZ!!!!!

    DONT USE ACCESS 2000/XP/2003 - it's buggy!!! Aceess 2.0 or 97 is where all the stable apps are!!!!

    WORD 97 has great macro support too - don't be afraid to put some business logice there.

    There's a rounding bug in Access that you can use to get more money out of your customers!!!! It inflates the sales tax - keep the change!!! You deserve it!!!!

    According to the CFO, it belongs in India. See you in the unemployment line.

    There is no logic in business. It's all about who you smile at, who you lie to, who you steal from, who you do favours for, who you do special favours for, who you fuck, who fucks you, who you back stab, who you kick when they're down and who you offer a helping hand up only to get a blow job later.
