      I had a client who ran their entire business on linked excel spreadsheets. Worked like a charm provided no machines were switched off.
      merely at clientco for the entertainment

          They're called spreadmarts and are entirely valid.

              but are they relational? probably not.

                Why not?

                I sometimes use SQL using an ODBC driver directly against Excel tables.

                  Alternatively, Right-Click and View Source.
                  Then once the source is open, search for "reputationbit"

                  It should be part of a construct like this
                  id="reputationbit_post id_user id"

                  take the userid section and use the URL Doodab mentioned.

                    Just because you can query it doesn't make it a relational database

                    If it doesn't follow Codd and Date's rules then it's just a database
