Just to allay your fears, a fairly typical scenario might have the user
presented with a list of from twenty to fifty names of horse trainers
depending on the size of the show. Since each trainer can have anywhere
from one to thirty or forty horses in their barn you can do the math to
see that the list of IDs passed from the app to the database can be
anywhere from a single ID up to possibly thousands of IDs.
