Re: How to present large datasets on the Web?

yes they do...
In some pages is is 20 records at a time (like any search engine returns the
1st page as 1 of 2,000,000)
In some I return the whole set in html, usually not more than a minute or 2
to load.
Also provide a link to save the whole set in a .csv file from the ifs. They
can use it in Excel.
