And I've got the flu or something. It's simply misunderstanding. you're saying you would not send the data if there is too much. I intepreted what you said to mean the user would be told - "sorry you're stupid - you can't execute a query like that". If you're saying you'd do what google does, then I'm with you. I let the user query as they will and I prepare a list for them. It never is all the data. I control the columns that are presented in the list. They navigate that list and access the records they want. I show a thermometer while the list is being built and let them escape from the query.
We don't have a built in way to do google-like pagination, so it's my compromise.
