There's can you and should you. You can probably put system calls and web service calls in there too. You're taking just about the heaviest drag on SQL database performance and inserting it into the feature that's considered to be the lightest-weight, fastest feature. You'd best be prepared to have a very good reason.

Google for "cursors considered harmful". (For that matter, google for "triggers considered harmful".) You're talking about two of the most potentially dangerous features of a database if not handled with extreme care - and one is by definition procedural, and the other relentlessly set-oriented.
