If it's a list of items that will never/rarely change (gender is a good example), it makes sense to put it in a Hash to avoid hitting the database.
If it's something that would change frequently, it probably makes more sense to create it as a Model and have it database driven. A list of eye colors is probably something that won't ever change, so I'd personally make it a Hash. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
