Documents requests and memory issue using MongoDB

Question

I have documents in Mongo that contain questionnaire-like data (company's name, address, phone numbers, etc.). I should have this data displayed in web interface.

How to make it better: get the whole document as dict into a variable and fill webform from its data or make lots of database requests to fill each field of the web form?

If you are going to display all of the data on the web interface anyways, start simple: Get a the whole document. It reduces your latency by requiring less round trips to the database.

Agree with GPS - if you need all, or most, of the data then it should be a better option to retrieve the document in one request as opposed to hitting the database x number of times.
