Derek is right. Tooling is the main reason not to put code in DBs. It’s a pain, that’s all. Tools are like ‘70s calls to say never forget me’. But logically it makes eminent sense. At the end of the day, writing code in the dB is not that different than writing components for an app server.

There is also another reason. Designing effective schemas and bundled logic is not junior level work. Microservices, imo, all song and dance aside, really were trying to deconstruct the “monolith” of the schema: a schema that serves the requirements of today, is modular, and is possible to sanely extend in the future is not commodity work. So a practical reason not to do it is the required labor (expertise).
