I'm surprised to see that this conversation has made it past the weekend.
Since it has, let me add my voice to those suggesting that encoding OLC in
the database (or any other values that can be algorithmically derived from
geometry) makes very little sense. I'm grateful to everyone who has already
made this point, in various ways and with various levels of forcefulness.

If the folks advocating for OLC would like to walk through the rationale
some more or explore alternative ways of getting OLC into their workflow, I
suspect that a number of people on this thread would be happy to talk
through it, myself included. Please don't hesitate to email.
