> You see it in direct code too, from new or naive coders Many moons ago in one of my first coding projects I not only used a separate query for each record, but a separate database connection too. In addition to this, I didn't use a loop to generate these queries, I copy and pasted the connection setup and query code for each record, leading to a 22k code file just for this single web page. There were probably on the order of 1000 records (they represented premier league football players), and amazingly this code was fast enough (took a couple of seconds to load - which wasn't so unusual back in 2007) and worked well enough that it actually had ~100 real users (not bad a 14 year old's side project).
