• Don't use stored procedures yet? Must be suffering from NIHS (Not Invented Here Syndrome)
  
• Stored procedures are bad, m'kay?

I clearly remember the debate, and lots of people referred back to these posts in the time between. Now however, Frans tells us a NEW debate is actually going on (A quote comes up: "Those who don't remember history are condemned to repeat is"

A very long thread (and when I say very I mean very!) over at TheServerSide.NETran a couple months ago, and is still getting contributions.
