( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Could you make the population of the user's attributes lazy? If so, you could keep track of all the ones that haven't yet been populated, and the first time an accessor is used from one of the many newly created user objects, the whole list of those that haven't yet been loaded could be prepared and loaded at once, within your class. This would fix the issue of the database being hit with a bunch of little queries, and would require only a small amount of additional bookkeeping within the class, to track which objects hadn't yet been populated so that they can all be populated together in hopefully a quicker transaction, when an accessor is used. If you're concerned with a big lag hitting from time to time, you could set a limit to how many unpopulated objects may exist, and when the limit is reached, run your query again.

Update: Bah! There seems to be an echo in here. Sorry for parroting previously-provided advice.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
