how do you load in your database data? All at once or by section?

I am working out the best methods of flash database interaction. Do you load in all the database information first, then run through the site.
Or,
Do you load in the relevant information from the database when clicking into each section?

If you have lots of data to transfer, it's best to pass them in portion that won't mess with the performance or load the data upfront/background so that it'd be somewhat transparent to the user... In other words, load all you can handle without causing any problem to the impatient users... That's my 2 cents... ;)

Conversely, if it's a relatively small amount of data, I might load that all at once straight up to prevent having to deal with running loaders and the delays incurred by their very nature.

Really depends on how much data and what exactly you're trying to accomplish.
