I operate a small game site for kids. On this site, the players can, among other things, buy virtual items. I have each item stored in a table called "items" in a mysql database. The type is one column in that table, but it is a number, not a name. When I want to display items with the item name, I have to send a query to the item_types table to get the type name. The problem is, if a user has 50 items, it takes 50 queries to get the types. Is there any better way?
