Programming with Linux, Java and PostgreSQL

Many programmers would rather write everything in their program code and use the database tables only to store information. I necessarily do not think this is a good idea. Going this route, the programmer is not taking into account the power of the database engine or learning other hints and options that are available within the RDBMS. The more you work within the database, the more you can learn about scalability and performance issues. It is also easier to fine-tune the database than to continually update and compile program files.
