So at least a good chunk of the Internet does indeed operate on a spreadsheet. Good to know.




All data begins life in a spreadsheet and dies in a spreadsheet. Automation is an illusion; databases are illusions. Only Excel is real.

This reads like a joke, but I've known two DBAs who don't use database management tools beyond exporting whole tables to excel, making manual changes, and importing to update the tables. Scary stuff.
