We have billions of MySQL queries per month in these forums.
When the logic is in PHP, all is generally well. When the DB logic is complex, we tend to have problems.
There is a huge difference in theory and practice.
Generally speaking, keeping thing simple and stupid (the KISS principle) wins over complexity and clever most every time.
Of course, "to each his own" as they say. I am only talking from my experience of running a lot of third party MySQL/PHP code and what I find best and easiest to debug when a problem arises.

LEARN ABOUT PHP
mysql_unbuffered_query
MYSQL_UNBUFFERED_QUERY(3) 1 MYSQL_UNBUFFERED_QUERY(3)
mysql_unbuffered_query - Send an SQL query to MySQL without fetching and buffering the result rows.
SYNOPSIS
Warning
This extension is deprecated as of PHP 5.5.0, and will be removed in the future. Instead, the MySQLi or PDO_MySQL extension should
be used. See also MySQL: choosing an API guide and related FAQ for more information. Alternatives to this function include:
oSee: Buffered and Unbuffered queries
resource mysql_unbuffered_query (string $query, [resource $link_identifier = NULL])
DESCRIPTION
mysql_unbuffered_query(3) sends the SQL query $query to MySQL without automatically fetching and buffering the result rows as
mysql_query(3) does. This saves a considerable amount of memory with SQL queries that produce large result sets, and you can start working
on the result set immediately after the first row has been retrieved as you don't have to wait until the complete SQL query has been per-
formed. To use mysql_unbuffered_query(3) while multiple database connections are open, you must specify the optional parameter $link_iden-
tifier to identify which connection you want to use.
o $query
- The SQL query to execute. Data inside the query should be properly escaped.
o $
link_identifier -The MySQL connection. If the link identifier is not specified, the last link opened by mysql_connect(3) is
assumed. If no such link is found, it will try to create one as if mysql_connect(3) was called with no arguments. If no connection
is found or established, an E_WARNING level error is generated.
For SELECT, SHOW, DESCRIBE or EXPLAIN statements, mysql_unbuffered_query(3) returns a resource on success, or FALSE on error.
For other type of SQL statements, UPDATE, DELETE, DROP, etc, mysql_unbuffered_query(3) returns TRUE on success or FALSE on error.
Note
The benefits of mysql_unbuffered_query(3) come at a cost: you cannot use mysql_num_rows(3) and mysql_data_seek(3) on a result set
returned from mysql_unbuffered_query(3), until all rows are fetched. You also have to fetch all result rows from an unbuffered SQL
query before you can send a new SQL query to MySQL, using the same $link_identifier.
mysql_query(3).
