include file vs db queries

hi there,

I have a similar "problem".
I have site with an iframe. The texts of menu-items
displayed in the top-page should be called from the DB,
but there might be a possibility that same texts need to be
used again inside the frame. So i'd have to call the DB twice
for partially same info.

Is it possible to leave a connection open with the DB between
two pages, or shouldn't i even bother about this?
What are your suggestions? (Newbie level quite high here...)

Thanks in advance!

Greetings knoakske

Why do you need the *same* menu text in an iframe?
