What is the most widely used database? Microsoft Excel.

- kzrdude 7y agoby users or in machines? If it's the latter, it surely is Sqlite?
- ganstyles 7y agoI would probably lean towards describing Excel as a data store rather than a database because it doesn't preserve many of the properties that make a database a database, such as acid compliance. Would anyone disagree?
- catblast 7y agoYes, acid compliance is not a prerequisite for what most people call a database either laypeople or not.
- airbreather 7y agoThat is sort of like calling a garbage tip a wharehouse - yes there is suff there, and yes you can find if you try hard enough, but yiou dont ever really know exactly what is there until you try to look for it and it could be way better organised.
