If my program was to hit the database with multiple updates would it be better to pull in the tables into a dataset, change the values and then send it back to the database. Does anyone know what’s more expensive?

No matter what, the database needs to perform all those updates based on the edits you did to the local DataSet. As I understand it, that will be just as expensive as sequentially updating. The only advantage is its easier to iterate over a dataset rather than pull-and-push one result after another.
