Isn’t this exactly the sort of thing spreadsheets are good for? I feel like I must be misunderstanding what you’re doing.

Maybe if you have millions of rows you might have trouble with excel. Other than that, from a data storage perspective an Excel is just a database that’s human readable.

Not really. It generally won't have a schema. You generally can't write queries against it.

Yes you can, there are a lot of different ways of doing it depending on what type of data you have and how you structured it.

It is nice to have a schema. Once you use schemas, it's hard to think otherwise. It feels gross.
