As other have said, there is no single number. Whenever possible please use SQL for what it was built for and retrieve sets of data together.

Generally an indication that you may be doing something wrong is when you have a SQL inside a loop.

When possible Use joins to retrieve data that belongs together versus sending several statements.

Always try to make sure your statements retrieve exactly what you need with no extra fields/rows.
