I've worked in environments where we used stored functions
extensively and where we didn't. Table DDL is generally fairly common
in both cases, and if stored functions or views are used, it's very
common for table DDL to trigger updates in views and functions. It's
fairly common to have to update just functions to kill bugs or change
functionality. Trigger changes are a bit less frequent, and views are
probably the least frequent.
