That is a myth. Stored procedures are only faster than dynamic queries;
not prepared statements. In fact, in some cases it is possible for a
stored procedure to actually be slower than a dynamic query.

Business logic shouldn't be in the database. It should be in the
business tier where it belongs.

The database structure should be abstracted by the data access layer of
your application.

Again, business logic shouldn't be in your database. Further, with the
high-speed interconnects we have today, data transfer simply isn't an
issue.

Again, this is a false statement.
