I'd think of something like an UPDATEable filtered table. The view would just be a SELECT with some WHERE clause on some huge table. This way, you'd probably manage a much smaller amount of data, but you'd be able to update it. Maybe the data you filter out is not only unwanted, but it could also be obsolete, so you'd prefer not to filter it in the client application.
Just an hypothesis...
