Bastien gave you all the info:
You should look at paging the data here with the OFFSET portion of the
limit clause
Select * from restaurant [where clause]limit 1000, $offset
where the $offset value can tell you where to start in the 17K rows of
data so that in effect you show records 1-1000, 1001-2000,
2001-3000...then on the page, just provide a set of links of navigate
the recordset by the user [ << < 1-1000 1001-2000 2001-3000 > >> ]
***
So you would generate page that had the first 1000 records and a Next >
link that linked maybe to the same page with ?start=1001. Then use the
$_GET['start'] to generate the next set of results staring at 1001.
