the issue i'm having is that i'm going to have to compare multiple rows of

the issue of doing the string/list compare/search is that i can get
everything from the db with one call... i can then iterate through memory
for each of my row information that i'm searching to see if it exists in the
db...
memory searches should be faster than the network overhead, and the
associated multiple db calls...
should... are you sure?
How many rows on the database? how many rows to compare? network overhead?
Do some timing/performance tests to evaluate that. Things aren't
always as you expect.
