Should the data access layer contain business logic?

Question

I\'ve seen a trend to move business logic out of the data access layer (stored procedures, LINQ, etc.) and into a business logic component layer (like C# objects).

Answer 1

It really depends on the requirements. Either way as long as it's NOT "behind the button" as it were. I think stored procedure are better for "classic" client server apps with changing needs. A strict middle "business logic" layer is better for apps that need to be very scalable, run on multiple database platforms, etc.
