Chris: Advantage: 1. More control over modifications to any table. 2. Better QA process as DBAs can ensure that all updates are performed uniformly. 3. Less security involved as procedures act at the security of the owner, except in 9i where security is also executed at the user level as well. Cons: 1. Lots of extra code to write 2. What happens if update statements vary by type data? Can accommodate this or you pass WHERE clause to procedure 3. More Recursive PL/SQL executions to SYSTEM Tablespace.

I just joined a new Oracle/Java project using Tomcat app server. On this project they decided to create an update procedure and insert procedure for every table. This procedure is then called in the Java code with the appropriate parameters passed, instead of simply coding the UPDATE or INSERT SQL directly in Java. Does anyone else take this approach? I'm trying to understand the pros vs cons of this approach. TIA!!!
