All the apps I like to see use stored procs, but my requirements are not performance based, but security based, and it is much easier to meet FSA requirements with a limited set of stored procedures. It is so common to see an app which appears secure at first glance but is vulnerable to a simple SQL Injection atack, thus rendering all the front end security laughable.

<sigh>
