I wonder if this could be used to hook up something Excel-ish to a DB backend.
I use Excel frequently to model and ask "what-if" questions but I often wish I could store/retrieve information dynamically from a DB. (The ODBC connectors that Excel has leave much to be desired).
Somewhat off topic, but I remembered the author of this Excel add in's "Ask HN" when it first came out ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=794317 ). 2 or 3 years later, it looks like he's expanded and now has 2 software products and a SAAS ( http://www.OakFocus.net/ ), so very inspiring.

For my use case, that would be the holy grail.
