Very bad idea. If pgAdmin offers to edit the column at all, the field 
content must be complete. Anything else would lead to many bad surprises.

pgAdmin isn't meant to be a perfect editing tool in any situation; 10k 
is obviously beyond the inline editing capacities. Actually, I don't 
know *any* general purpose tool for that.
