Yes, a proper RDBMS is expressly optimised for manipulating the data.

Especially when the problem at hand is expressible as a set operation,
the RDBMS is almost always the better place to do that.

This assumes you have an RDBMS that is good at manipulating data
efficiently (which rules out MySQL, but you've already done that I see.)
