The biggest advantages I see:- running tasks as a specific database user without having to store passwords on the
server-When deploying a database -- maintenance jobs can be created with SQL commands- Not everybody have access to the
serveror don't have another machine to run it from
Just mentioning some pros I see -- I do agree with your point on resources and future maintenance.
