Is this possible?  Or is it already being done?

Access to the function would then be gained by calling them through the
class. (i.e. select EMP.totalPeople();, or update CORPEMP set
CORPEMP.totals = DIVEMP.totalPeople();)
Just an OO thought.  (*ahhhh* It's that concurrency/data-hiding/coupling
thing again.)
Then one could disallow select/update on a table but all execute on
specific functions.  I do realize that this can be accomplished through
triggers, but this has other potentials...
