oh boy... i feel thread divergence coming on

this would be the classic debate about in which tier the business rules are enforced

i'm a database-centric guy. i think that's why we have object types and the like. i don't want to hand of data cleansing and validation to another tier and hope no-one comes into the database via a different path.

but, there are server-centric types as well.
