I work with one codebase similar to that (DBMS only), and that's exactly what I do there (it's not that clear-cut, some code validates data, some data is short-lived). There is more than one "code" schema, with different lifecycles too.

There are plenty of interesting problems with it. I would prefer to completely separate code from data if it wouldn't impact elsewhere. As it is, separating them would severely harm us, so it's kept this way. It brings a lot of productivity, but we have a very small team working on it, and completely separated procedures for them.
