I would whoheartedly agree here.  Having everything in the protocol 
eliminates the possibility of a client doing something wrong to the DB 
because all calls are made through the backend which will properly 
handle the call.  And if nothing else, it eliminates the need for a DB 
client and configuration on the client.
