Spring Batch (Client Side) vs Stored Procedures like, database, question, factors

amy

We're looking at Spring Batch and I want to get ahead of the obvious question: When do you select from the database and process on the client side (like in Spring Batch) and when should you offload work to stored procedures to the heavy lifting?

Note that isn't saying we would never call stored procedures from Spring Batch; it's just a question of where to do the data processing and what factors have driven people's decisions in the past.

Let me know if there are any questions that I can answer if the question above is unclear or not specific enough.

Thanks.

Oh well, guess this was a little too theoretical a question. I'll do some googling.
