Hi, I''m fairly new to rails and I need some advice on best practice. I''m working on an application that has a calendar section (I know, not another one of those!) and I was wondering, when is it best to query your database and when is it best to preload a model. In the calendar app the user will have a month view of entries and was wondering should I preload all the entries of the month or should I just query the database whenever the user wants something. I want to preload but I''m not sure whether it is worth it considering I''m only envisaging a couple thousand users. And one more thing, are preloaded models held in the database or on file. Thanks in advance, Richard -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
