Showing all entries without pagination is better since data is in memory
From 1 comment
- I would show all entries, and not give any option to show just 10,20, 50... there is no advantage in that since everything is in memory

From 1 comment
- Very simple but very useful. Idea: Make something like http://yourapp.tld/CSV_URL to view table using any csv link.
