BTW: There is nothing that prevents you from making calls to GUI components from within SQL Server. Whether or not that would make sense is a different question.

Really, when it comes right down to it, the majority of application code sits either in the business tier or in the database back end. Neither one of those should have any UI. In fact, often, the GUI is provided completely by HTML or some other technology that has nothing to do with the programming language.
