User Story

As a researcher using extra large datasets (5+ million transactions), I'd like to be able to use DataShop.

DataShop does not handle datasets that have 5 million transactions very well, and just does not work with a dataset that has 16 million transactions. A lot can be done for the user interface to make it usable, such as sending less data from the server. ~~ Alida Skogsholm, July 21, 2009
Would it be possible for me to get a random sample from the 'Bridge to Algebra 2006-2007' dataset of 100 students? I am having trouble looking at the data because it takes too long to load, and my adviser thought that was because the dataset was too large. ~~ DataShop User, 10/19/2010
