  This is true except FoxPro really was more of a 'normal' relational database model. It just had this 'tabular' view for its Database Viewer client front-end. FoxPro was certainly not a 'spreadsheet' product in the sense that Excel is.

  FoxPro was bundled with MS Office at one point, and it blew me away with how easy it was to make data-centric apps. It's the only thing I've experienced that comes close to a spreadsheet for enabling programming for those who would identify as non-programmers.

    I think you're confusing it with Access, which is the one that was part of Office for a while.

      You are right, Foxpro came with Visual Studio, not Office; I had misremembered.

  Oracle says "hi" too! I remember seeing ads in Infoworld for a product called SQL*Calc. As far as I know it was fully vaporware, Oracle never even did anything past a photoshop (or more likely ms-paint) advertisement for it, but somebody on usenet may have used it: https://www.orafaq.com/usenet/comp.databases.oracle.server/2000/01/13/1400.htm https://www.orafaq.com/usenet/comp.databases.oracle.server/2...
