title: How to use jqgrid when your resultset size is too large to compute?
body: <p>I'm attempting to use jqgrid. Unfortunately, I can't compute a resultset size because I'm using  a <strong>very</strong> large database and computing the size of the resultsets I'm providing is very slow. I can get data reasonably quickly, but getting a count of the resultset for my queries just isn't possible.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to get around this? Perhaps by not using a pager, but instead using some kind of scrollbar? Is there any kind of standard technique that's being used by people out there to get around this? I looked at the virtual scrollbar and autoloading data while scrolling examples, but they both seem to require a total. </p>
  
  <p>I <em>really</em> want to use jqGrid. I actually already have an implementation in one of my code branches that uses it, but its computing resultset sizes using a much smaller database. Does anyone have any suggestions on this?</p>
