This sample demonstrates how jqGrid works with large amount of data.
We have put into a table in a Mysql database about 12.000 records filled with random words. jqGrid, using Ajax, loads only those records, that are visible.
If you want to make a search (just enter some word into input fields), grid sends search criteria to server and loads only data that correspond to entered criteria.
Speed is increased about 2 times if we index the column. In this case this is column Code Important: sample is working with real data - 12.000 records! Enjoy it's performance
