>> Or allow the user to choose what number/percent they want up to some
reasonable functional limit?
This was what I was kind of thinking.  The idea had been that it would only
show changes and when it high a threshold -- it would stop with some info
about records that that were unchanged and those that were.  But I think
once I have this working, I could flesh out the reporting to change the
display.  I was thinking from a control perspective, the data would live in
something that likely could be sortable -- though, what sortable means is
something I haven't decided as yet.

I think so, depending on the size of the set. Doing a full preview on, say,
50,000 replacements sounds not only resource-intensive but tedious to go
through the results (at least without some way to filter or search to look
for undesirable outcomes), while if the set is only 100 to begin with I
might well prefer to see them all.

Maybe a (regressive?) percentage of the result set with also a floor and a
ceiling? Or allow the user to choose what number/percent they want up to
some reasonable functional limit?
