You have to re-think the concepts a bit with extbase. You don't pass IDs 
anymore, but an object (the actual URLs will contain an ID, but this 
will be converted into the object with that uid by extbase).

You also don't retrieve records from the database, but you get objects 
from the repository.

For your purpose you inject the repository object for the model you want 
to use in your controller class. Then you query the repository, get the 
object(s) and finally pass them to the view layer.

If you can read German there is an excellent book by Patrick Lobacher 
[1] or a series of articles by Anja Leichsenring [2] about writing 
extensions with Extbase.
