One advantage: you get all the write concurrency your RDBMS can give you for your transactions. Too many ORMs I've seen just have a Big Lock, leaving you with just one writer at a time.

I can't think of disadvantages to putting your business logic in the RDBMS. Can you elaborate?

Geez, I think you've seen some pretty terrible ORMs. I don't know of any mature and popular ORMs that do that. If they do, I have no idea why they are popular or what makes anyone consider them mature.

ORMs that don't do that include: ActiveRecord, Sequel, Hibernate, Core Data, SQLAlchemy, etc.
