I say you should just use one call to the db and pull them into a hash, but wait five to ten minutes and probability says someone here will show me I'm wrong

    And if you wind up with 10 gig of data in a hash? eg, I think, provided a reasonably vague answer to a reasonably vague question. Part of coming up with acceptable solutions is developing good specifications. I find that if I define the question clearly enough, I often don't need to ask anyone else for the answer.

    Hope that wasn't too painful :)

    Cheers,
