Yes, I read a large part of it, until I got to the point of "this makes no sense to do this when I would've already accomplished the objective before I finished reading this article." I understand that he is comparing stored procedures, but we store all of our stored procedures scripts as text files as save them in subversion. The process of saving any stored procedure as a text file is a 10 second task, so do it programmatically makes very little sense.

As for checking term papers, that sounds like a great idea, but that is not what you started out with or even suggested as a usage to begin with. Moreover, that's a different step altogether, because term papers are not stored procedures, and you would then have to load them into a database and I suspect there would be a lot of other items that would be different as well.
