Yeah, there should be a step before that involves joins, using composite primary keys and foreign key constraints, views ... just some things that I would say are a step above "I wrote a model file and my ORM issued the appropriate DDLs"

And also from being able to use AJAX, apparently.

That one got me to. I'm capable of writing a stored procedure - it's hardly challenging if you program and know RDBMS, I just dislike spreading business logic into my data layer.
