I think this happens because of the OO/UML hype. People tend to see the database
as a mere storage facility and putting the logic (including RI and other stuff)
in the middle tier. This should make the application more platform independent.
I'm a J2EE developer but with a strong database background and I always have to
fight to get the basic checks into the database. Too many people coming from
MySQL, Access and dBase ("but we can check that in the application logic!")
And MS is going the same way I think (haven't done any .net development though,
but seeing SQL Server's transact SQL I really don't want to use that for
implementing my business logic as well ;)

Thomas
