I've always been a believer in avoiding sql procedures, for the main reason that I want to be as database-independent as possible. I know it is less efficient, but being able to switch between MySQL, Postgre, and the new freebies from IBM, Oracle, and Microsoft is a strong advantage from the business perspective (of total cost to the customer, and customer preference).

Of course, this is a discussion point. I'd love to hear from the community on their experiences.

I'd also like to add that if you have a choice between doing something in the application logic vs. MySQL's SQL statements, then it is probably more efficient to use SQL statements, constructs and related functions, to get the job done, rather than in the application logic if possible.
