--- Comment #4 from Gerhard Weydt <gerhard.weydt at t-online.de> ---
I can't see why it should be better to store those data in a daabase instead of
a spreadsheet. There isn't given a convincing reason for that, the statement
"The database is the best way to store data." is too general and hence of no
value. What is wrong with having the data in the spreadsheet?
I don't understand the use case: if the numerical models do not fit into a
sheet, how could a sheet be used to make calculations with these data?
Anyway, the use case is very special. On the other hand, the requested feature
would very probably a big task, given that a spreadsheet can very easily be
altered (adding rows, columns, cells) which would always have to be reflected
in the database.
I am of opinion that the request is too specialized for a general solution. I
also doubt whether a spreadsheet is the best way to work with, but then the use
case isn't quite clear.
