To quote Matthew Broderick as David Lightman in Wargames, "I don't 
believe any system is totally secure." 

And having worked with pl/pgsql for business logic in a Rails app, I 
can say I wouldn't wish the experience on anyone. I would push back 
haaaard. 
..... 
I don't reply to many list emails these days, but I couldn't resist on this 
one... 

PL/PGSQL will do more harm in the long run, because no app is unchanging. 
Changes 
will start taking longer, needed fixes will start to be perceived as harder and 
put off. I 
agree with Harry, I wouldn't wish that on anyone. FYI, if you really are object 
oriented, 
database logic should be restricted to data restrictions, and not mingle with 
web 
code.
