Oy, it doesn't beg that question (to beg a question is to bury an answer in the question).

Yes it raises the question. The general answer is to let the database do what it does best, which includes most queries, and to do procedurally what the database does poorly. In your cases, I think the database will do your job more efficiently than your code.
