I am working on a project that utilizes a relational database. So far I have been opting for one larger query with multiple join clauses as opposed to multiple select queries. I had a co-worker raise question over my approach, so I am looking for some outside input. So far I have been unable to locate any articles concerning the issue, so I would like to ask what other's views on the subject are, or if anyone knows where any articles on the subject can be found. Thank you.
 
joins are way better -- well, usually

tell your coworker that this is best practice, and ask your coworker to contact me if there is still any doubt
