Brilliant idea. There have been so many times where I've been in Excel thinking "if only I could run SQL on this."

Only thing to concern yourself with now is how long before Microsoft implements this in Excel?

P.S. Great to hear an Aussie accent in a demo video!

There is a Perl DBD for this. It doesn't run in Excel, but you can run SQL queries on spreadsheet files.
