And then tell them only weirdoes like me do that kind of stuff.
I need the work.

And with apologies to any for whom this is stating the obvious:

<tip type=database author="Ed McCarroll">
Some database queries must be done interactively, upon user request.
Others need only be done once each time the database is updated.  For
example, if you have a table containing info on merchants who stock
your product line, and a link on your site to a list of all such
merchants in a given region, you only need to generate that list once
each time the merchant data for that region changes.  Then you can
make it available as a static page.
</tip>

A teacher of mine once said that one of his secrets to success was to
"figure out what you don't have to do, and then don't do it."
