If you need let's say the countries for a select statement I would
just create this in a migrations/country model that loads the data
into an array on startup. This will then be cached in production and
only loaded once. I use something like this for one project:
class State < ActiveRecord::Base
NAMES_ABBREVIATIONS = self.find(:all, :order => :name).map do |s|
[s.name, s.abbreviation]
end
end
<%= address_form.select(:state, State::NAMES_ABBREVIATIONS, :prompt =>
'select', :label => "State", :required => true) %>
This gives only one hit to the database on startup.
