re: updates

in my homegrown solution i do this:

all data goes into _PROFILE into one of 3 structures: _text , _array , _hash

when i update an object, information goes into _SUBMITTED , into the same structure

i compare _SUBMITTED to _PROFILE. if a field is different, it gets tossed into an update clause

once the db commits, _SUBMITTED fields are copried to _PROFILE

i also cache/session all objects based on _PROFILE, not on the class. this way i can use multiple languages to handle the same objects , and get a bit more flexibility

re: loads a_ create a 'listing' class that just loads the info you want b_ load everything at once, store in memcached w/a timeout.
