That might be true, but that’s like saying “now that my mechanic can repair my car for free, it’s way less worry to replace my radiator by removing it with a chainsaw”.

The solution to stored procs being awful isn’t making a whole branch just to see what it does, it’s fixing the problems with stored procedures at the root level.




Though im on the fence with stored procs and have seen complicated messes that make it depressingly no fun to work with I also had very good experiences with systems based around stored procs, not in an abusive dogmatic way. The usual answer I’m going to invoke here is that it depends how the tool is used. Any tool, methodology, philosophy can be borked in various ways, that experience traumatize people that they prefer to move on. Of course some tools are clearly worse or less useful than others but you can find some consensus if you know where to look.
