Dynamic SQL vs. Stored Procedures
So much has been written about the pros and cons of Dynamic SQL vs. Stored Procedures, with a lot of venom coming from both sides. As a DBA, I really push hard for the use of Stored Procedures as the only way to access or manipulate data, but as an ex-developer, I see the allure of Dynamic SQL.

Currently a Senior Consultant, previously a Senior Data Architect. Stored procedures 100%. Primarily because if we have 20 apps that consume from the database, and they use 5 different data abstraction layers (and some bypass the DALs), changing the behavior of a stored procedure is a one-place change, rather than changing all the apps, re-deploying, etc. You're going to pay for the testing regardless, but I'd rather change one line of code in one place than one line of code in 25 places.

Picked one without a lot of flaming, venom etc. Anyway my arguments there (and others that I avoided for brevity) have stood up for my 14 years in the industry at different companies.
