MyGodItsCold Governor violation - How to Predict - How to Avoid
Our users can target in on data sets with over 10,000 Contacts.
I have a VF page to gather criteria. Once I have the criteria, I'd want to say,
"Narrow your selection criteria, you're about to get too many Contacts."
How do I do that? I thought I'd run a SOQL 'intNumberOfContacts = SELECT count() FROM Contact WHERE ....'
but when it goes over 10,000, it bombs.
I thought I'd use try ... catch ... But, as the documentation says, you can't catch from a blown
governor limit.
What am I to do?
Thanks.

I had exactly the same issue and have been bouncing it off a lot of different people and there isn't to much we can do other than put a limit on the SOQL to stop it firing the gov limit.
I ended up essentially limiting the SOQL response and if the data set returned is equal the limit imposed than i assume there are more records to process. Its not fool proof but its my only solution so far :(
