+1.  You're not going to take switching the db lightly and the chance
of "just loading up the data in the new db and switching a config
file" without changing any code is slim to none.

More likely, you'll create a new client (iPhone App, etc.) that you'll
want to talk to the same database.  Putting your logic in the db
eliminates the need to recode that logic.

Thanks,
