Generic Models & Views vs Bespoke Models and Views?

If you are using stored procs, with a nice database library like ActiveRecord/ORM, then you could eliminate the model layer without batting an eyelid.

I agree with Jim's stance that views are very specific. Generic views will only work if your data dictionary is stored and retrievable by your application at run time, so that view requirements for specific fields can be acted upon.
