Of course - GOOD. And one more argument - this way you can truly separate code from presentation. This is the same way MC(C)V systems work. Let database handle all "this-id-is-not-allowed-to" issues, this will make the code of your presentation layer smaller and easier to debug.
Of course, you will still have to debug triggers/procedures, but believe me - it's worth. And - if the word SEPARATE doesn't convince you, think about the word REUSE. You can apply policies on the database side, then wrap it with PHP, Perl, Python, C, Java - whatever you want.
(a lot of words 'bout Linux, probably no hands-on experience with FreeBSD) - Result: FreeBSD 0, Linux 1.
Support:
Ease of updating (man portupgrade, man pkg_add was never seen, I suppose) - Result: FreeBSD 0, Linux 3.
Software:
(man linux - no, this is not a joke - also was never seen; although there are many apps that cannot be run this way - e.g. MuSE - it works great with many others) - Result: FreeBSD 0, Linux 1.

"Windows is far better than any Unix, 'cause I have Windows on my PC - and I haven't any Unix on it and I don't plan to." - some Johnny. You cannot compare known to unknown - this mean you can, but what for?
I don't suppose that only snobs from "upper management" are able to listen to classical music. I started my musical fascinations with King Crimson, Marillion, Yes and Genesis - and with Bach, Haendel and Mozart on the other side.
Of course, it is quite comprehensive... all my favourites are dead or they've changed and create some crap (eg. Marillion). But hey, wasn't Unix created along with the best albums of Genesis and Yes?
For Perl it's not only speed, but regexp power (to name one of its advantages). And if you dip into some more sophisticated Perl engines (Apache::ASP, Embperl or Mason) you'll find that Perl - as a language - gives one flexibility and scalability. For example, when a lot of engines are at their top, Mason just begins to spread its wings. I started my web scripting with PHP, then came to CGI, and now I'm using Apache::ASP and Mason.
And I simply don't understand why there is no difference between array and scalar.
Erm, there is an Open Source product... which does this at this very moment. And it also stars with letter "E". AFAIK some non-aware users thinks it's ONLY an editor.
[about "Player Piano"]: Everybody's standards of living are high because the machines produce everthing they need, but everybody is miserable because they don't feel they have a purpose.
I don't suppose this is a real threat. At the moment society is quite happy of consuming, and only a small part needs to be creative. I've been unemployed for some time, so I can tell you: this is not a matter of money, this is a matter of being useful, being creative, being crafty. We need to change paradigm - I think there will be a time, when work will be a privilege.

The file system/hardware/security bugs that get INTRODUCED
So if every new version of Windows has less bugs than previous, imagine, how buggy was 95!:-P Microsoft has no "unstable" or "developer" versions. And you may think that installing Service Pack will make you happy and secure. This is not true. First of all, your system will be "updated" with a lot of stuff you don't need. Second - sometimes new patches introduce new bugs, over and over again. Every system has some bugs, holes etc. But they should be patched, not claimed to not exist.

This apply to every product you use, not only database. You use it == you tie yourself to it.
:P
Then you can start to convinvce me that PHP will last at least 25 years more than PostgreSQL

Maybe a language with dynamic typing? AFAIK languages with static typing are considered as more useful...
;)
OK. C advocates, reload your rifles
