Stored Procedures vs Application Logic
Developers should use stored procedures when they need to centralize business logic within the database for consistency, optimize performance by reducing round-trips between application and database, and enforce security by limiting direct table access meets developers should master application logic to build robust, maintainable software that correctly implements business requirements. Here's our take.
Stored Procedures
Developers should use stored procedures when they need to centralize business logic within the database for consistency, optimize performance by reducing round-trips between application and database, and enforce security by limiting direct table access
Stored Procedures
Nice PickDevelopers should use stored procedures when they need to centralize business logic within the database for consistency, optimize performance by reducing round-trips between application and database, and enforce security by limiting direct table access
Pros
- +Common use cases include batch processing, data validation, and complex transactional operations where atomicity is critical, such as in financial or inventory systems
- +Related to: sql, database-design
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Application Logic
Developers should master application logic to build robust, maintainable software that correctly implements business requirements
Pros
- +It's essential for creating applications that handle complex workflows, enforce business rules, and ensure data integrity
- +Related to: software-architecture, design-patterns
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Stored Procedures if: You want common use cases include batch processing, data validation, and complex transactional operations where atomicity is critical, such as in financial or inventory systems and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Application Logic if: You prioritize it's essential for creating applications that handle complex workflows, enforce business rules, and ensure data integrity over what Stored Procedures offers.
