It totally feasible! It only depends of the number of the parameters you have in your table... If you have less than a 1000, it should not overload the browser, or you can think of paging the table.
Massimo, has wrote in the pass that it could be possible to une SQLFORM.grid in order to make a multiple rows form, I didn't get it works... I just build my own SQLFORM with SQLFORM.factory and than in view you customize your form and put you input fields side by side as you want. I can help, if you want. I can just paste my code here cause it will make no sense, because there were so much thing that are particular to my need and I have not time to make a demo app with the basic for now.
