Description

This is more of a meta issue.

Currently for a lot of operations we query all (forms, submissions...) but for large instances this might get a problem if there are e.g. 30'000 forms or 3'000 submissions.

We should figure out a good way to handle:

  • Show form results (fetching the results might be bad if there are hundreds or thousands of submissions)
  • Investigate if there are more places that are problematic

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Begin by locating the operations that fetch all forms or submissions and the code that displays form results. Done means defining and implementing an approach for large result sets, then investigating and documenting any other problematic unpaginated operations.
