Does anyone know of a good link that explains why a database server shouldn't be in the DMZ? I can't seem to find anything other than discussion strings. I'm looking for some type of "official" explanation to show to a programmer 🙂

I do not know of any articles on this specifically. But I do have a question:
"Would you leave a wallet stuffed with money on the dashboard of your car in plain view with the doors locked and one window rolled down and expect it to stay there untouched ?"
I think that this is kind of like putting a SQL Server in a DMZ.

I agree, but I don't think the programmer will buy it. I just want him to understand why. If I find a good article, I'll post it.

I would posit that the reason that you can't find a reference to a good explanation is that there is no such explanation. There is no possible argument that it is neccessarily a bad idea to put an SQL server on a DMZ.
It depends on too many things to be always, or even generally true. If you can elaborate on your specific situation, it may be possible to provide a link that would be applicable.
