[...] Agreed, I would also like to suggest to use database views whenever possible. Creating read only views (these are generally read only already) for each tabular data which has to be displayed on a web site is generally a good practice - depending on the environment you are on, it is also generally faster because it accomodates better when used in combination with EJBs or other sort of caching/Model-View-Controller mechanisms.
