Paging using editable grid

Is there a way to get editable grid to page through the entire data set similar to 'read-only grid'?  I have 10K records and each record needs to be classified based on a list of categories.  Right now, the entire 10K records are being shown.

Thanks.

It's possible but requires a lot of manual work, as has been discussed many times here in the past.

My advice: it's not worth it.  In the past when tempted to try implementing it myself, I've ended up changing my mind ultimatley.  Instead, show the paged/gouped entries as a read-only grid, and allow users to click an "edit this row" control (icon, etc) on individual rows, and save their changes before proceeding to another row.

    Thanks for the quick response - will implement the read-only/edit features.

    May I suggest a different UX pattern here? 
    Assuming you are only displaying as subset at a time (such as 10 or 20) You could use a read only grid with record actions to edit each row, instead. This would also enable you to use Record user filters as well.
