Hello,

how good can the data module handle large amounts of items?

Mmm.. no idea of limits, but we use it extensively (100.000 nodes, every Content with 20 / 50 NodeData) and nothing hurts, except on some activation issues but they should be related to our 3.6.3 instance...

Is it
possible to have paging and a search/filter option in the data module screens?

By default, data module comes with its tree browser, but there are no limits on thoughts, so you can extend that tree browser adding custom behaviour. I think, anyway, it is not an easy work, because you can "hurt" with core Javascript functionalities and core standard behaviours.

Suggestion: data module is a very good feature of Magnolia, because it is full compliant to core magnolia API (and so on JCR). But for legacy systems and other large databases I suggest to use a "look-aside" db connection, maybe using JNDI as resource finder.

I've just developed a new module, for now still in beta (better, alpha!) that can use external resources with simple tag libraries. I use JNDI for a MySQL db, I'm planning to handle also external web services.
