For others who are later looking at this thread, one consideration is
that db_select()->execute() returns an array of rows of objects
matching the select. You could quickly consume all memory pulling all
nodes so don't do something stupid like
$nodes = db_select('nodes', 'n')->fields('n')->execute();
To process one row at a time from the DB you must use db_query() which
has an appropriate fetch() method to retrieve the data from the DB one
row at a time.
Thanks for the responses David and Jamie, sounds like a heated debate
but I now understand when db_select should be used and when not to.
