Multiple Products question



Hey, I am relatively new to the minivend thing, so this is prolly gonna come off as a bit newbie'ish (but just bear with me:)
 
I've searched the archives and (suprisingly actually) came up with little information on how to display multiple products on one page.
 
To that end, how do I display multiple products on a single page? Basically i'd like to be able to iterate through each product in a particular table. The closest thing I could find would be to execute a search that would be the equivalent of
"SELECT * FROM mytable" and then use those mechanisms to iterate through the table itself.
 
However, that's an extra query that I would like to avoid if possible. When the minivend daemon intercepts an incoming product identifier, does it immediatly query for the record entry matching that record?
 
IE: If I have something like http://www.mydomain.com/mycart.cgi/00-1111mGr68IT7;;28 or whatever, when the daemon receives this does it immediatly do the SQL equivalent of "SELECT * FROM products WHERE id = 00-1111" ??

If so, then I guess I'd have to use the search mechanism...Just trying to figure out the most optimal way:)
