Feedback on approach requested

I would like some feedback from the list regarding a project we are going to 
start working on.

We want to list our available loads on our website in an image map, so that 
when the user hovers their cursor over a particular state it will reflect 
the number of loads we have available and if they click on the state it will 
provide them with a listing of the load information.

This by itself should be easy enough to accomplish with Bob Cozzi's tool, my 
question is more along the lines of extracting the specific number of loads.

One way which I am not thrilled about would be to query it with SQLRPGLE and 
put out the data.  We could also maintain a separate PF that contains the 
name for each state and a numeric value with the number of loads available.

Obviously to display the actual load information will require an sql call, 
which is fine for that aspect, but getting the initial page to load would be 
much faster if it was to read a simple PF that could be updated when a load 
is booked (+1) or (-1) when a load has been assigned.

Any thoughts, suggestions on the approach would be appreciated.
