What is the most efficient way to use database? : <p>I'm new to using a database, specifically MySQL. I'm creating a web application for class in which you can look up the name of a book and it'll display the summary of the book. My question is should I send a query to the database that collects all of the books' data on initialization and put them into a HashMap inside a manager class for lookup or should I use a query each time to lookup a specific book information?</p>
