Data manipulation is typically faster when done in the DB in the stored procedure.

Unless there is a reason you have to do the manipulation within the application, do it on the DB itself.

I sugget to go for ORM aproach like Entety Framework , LINQ to SQL or Nhibernate you both get better performance and greater development speed.
