SQL vs spreadsheets: when should you move to a real database?

The question is about SQL .

Answer:

Switch to SQL when data volume, collaboration needs, concurrent editing, security, validation, or compliance exceed spreadsheet capabilities. If you need multiple users, advanced queries, or to secure and back up growing data, move away from spreadsheets to robust database systems.
