Does the jqGrid support paging without knowing the total number of records? We are working on the tables with hundred thousands of records and counting them each time grid is refreshed is very inefficient.
Even better – if the total number of records could be passed via jQuery initialization call and the counting disabled – that would be awesome, as I am faced with the same challenge.
Well, passing the total number of records in initializationmay not be a solution either, as it may change with other users activity. The only thing that grid should know to let the paging work is if there are more records left. I think this can be done by passing a proper (i.e current page number * records per page + 1) information in the node – not the real record count.
But I'd like to know from the author if he has implemented or plans to implement such solution in the incoming releases.
