I want to create a page for a friend that will show him various statistics about his DB usage. 

I would like it to include a (relevant) portion of the last 5 entries.

I want those entries to be clickable, and bring up a new window with all the information visible and ready to print. 

My question:

I thought I would just pass the KEY (for the clicked entry) along to a generic page that would pull the data down and format it.  (Passing it along in the page address) 

Does that sound reasonable? 

I’m wondering if there is a better way to pass the information? 

I also wonder about hitting the DB twice for the same entry (once for the initial query and again for the full query).

Thoughts?

-Thanks!
