My biggest peeve with OOP'ers are the ones that think it's ok to retrieve 100 results from a database table, turn those 100 rows into objects, then recursively retrieve the subdata for each of those objects from the database. One site I took over on generated 18000 queries on the home page *shudder*. Fortunately database transfers are pretty zippy when the database is on the same machine, but as we all know, that's not scaleable :) Cheers, Rob. -- .------------------------------------------------------------. | InterJinn Application Framework - http://www.interjinn.com | :------------------------------------------------------------: | An application and templating framework for PHP.
