Ok, that was a good qualification of your stance on web oriented OOP. I
must say I generally agree with what you wrote. 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.
