"Data Centric - Moving Business Logic into the Database" by Birgitta Hauser
When talking about application and database modernization most think about converting from DDS to DDL & redesigning the database … and yes, this might be the final goal.

But there is much more … because we never can touch the database without respect to the application and vice versa. We have to move from an application-centric thinking to a data-centric thinking. In short, instead of coding everything in whatever programming language, we should move as much business logic as possible into the database. It may even include foreign data that is provided and accessed by Web-Services.

But …what does that mean?

At first, using encapsulated (complex) SQL Statements wrapped in SQL Views or User Defined Table Functions, externalizing Data Access, adding constraints and triggers, Row & Column Access Control (RCAC).

With all these techniques we cannot only reduce our source code to a minimum but also secure our data!

This month's meeting is being held exclusively via the web!
