What are the pros and cons to keeping SQL in Stored Procs versus Code [closed]

Answer 1

Use your app code as what it does best: handle logic.
User your database for what it does best: store data.

You can debug stored procedures but you will find easier to debug and maintaing logic in code. Usually you will end recompiling your code every time you change the database model.

Also stored procedures with optional search parameters are very inneficient because you have to specify in advance all the possible parameters and complex searches are sometimes not possible because you cant predict how many times a parameter is going to be repeated in the seach.
