I'm going to second this.  At the enterprise level, where you would want such a thing, you aren't likely to change your backend database.  If you are then you have vastly more expensive tasks to perform than rewriting some stored procedures.  Having stored procedures frees you from having to write and rewrite things for multiple front ends.
