A better answer might have been:

It all depends. For client side processing (non database stuff), put it in forms. For data intensive processing, put it in the DB. It's important to think about the amount of data transferred between the database and a form.

If the procedure only contains PL/SQL and no Forms commands I recommend putting it in the database.

Obviously if it contains ANY Forms command it can't go into the database but it might be a candidate for putting into a PLL.
