Excel is not a database!

IT CAN BE THO

.txt can be, too ...

The term "database" is not restricted to a chunk of bits which can be operated by SQL queires. Everything can be a database, if you are brave enough.

Technically, even the piece of paper which contains something on it is database :)

Look again!

You'd think Excel was bad enough, Remember doing my work experience as a kid at my local council and they were using Microsoft word as a database 🤣 There was many a discussion about turning the database "landscape" lol

Lies 😄

The poor man’s database

it's all about imagination and interpretation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Where can I get one?

Ceci n'est une database

Depends how you define a database. A shoe box full of receipts can be classed as a database...

@Fradow I’ve only seen them at the 2018 Alteryx Inspire Conference.

@vlatkozelka Honestly it's a true story 🤣. They just used a massive table with headers in word called it "the database" tried to get them to use access or even excel they were having none of it.

Isn't that normal? Pairs good with "Email Driven Design"!

What exactly is that water (bacon?) doing?

@Root flowing through, rather than into, the UML barrel that stands for database, because Excel is not one.

When you import an excell doc into word it can throw an sql error...

@WIPocket 😐

@WIPocket that sounds awful :-(

@inaba can I interest you in a "pas"?

I usually use magnets as my database.

It is to me.
Have my passwords in a excel encrypted file

@illegaldisease For me database is collection of data... So if you will look from this side - exel can be database....
