If anyone from Google is reading this: please add a database (yes, like a cloud version of MS ACCESS) in the Google Docs/Drive suite.

Has anyone looked at "Fusion Tables?"

A google search reveals that is what it is supposed to be.

Yep, this should be accessible to users. Someone needs to bridge that gap from spreadsheets to real apps. One click to convert your Spreadsheet into a database. Or hell, just silently migrate it when (NUMROWS + NUMCOLUMNS) > BIGNUMBER .

Honestly, if clippy suggested to excel users something similar, I'd be extremely happy.

Sheets integrates with BigQuery!

There's also ODBC in AppScript (although I haven't tested it to tell you how well it works).
