You'll notice in that article he qualifies the statement saying that he's talking (only!) about application databases. For most of the stuff I do at work (and apparently for Jorge as well), the database is the lingua franca of the system, i.e. they're integration databases and not app databases. This means that I have to spindle/fold/mutilate SQLObject to fit with the DB relational model but it also means that I want the triggers to fire because that kicks off the rest of the system.
