It depends what you do... If you need to manipulate a lot of data that ends up travelling on the wire, you can save a lot of time by running it on the server.

On the other hand, the language on the DB servers are often a bit harder to reason with.
- yawboakye 12y ago> the language on the DB servers are often a bit harder to reason with But can't we say that about every other language? I've been writing a lot of PL/pgSQL lately and I've enjoyed every bit of it. For PostgreSQL there's also PL/Python, PL/V8, etc. Those are packages for writing the server code in python and JavaScript respectively and out the window goes the obscure language excuse. But that's if you're on Postgres.
