This is why during the review phase, I objected to using a stored
procedure for this logic, since it is tied very tightly to the database
implementation. 

I also have a lot of scars and recurring nightmares
about an old job where the majority of an application's logic was
embedded in huge stored procedures and database triggers - so I'm a bit
biased.
