It isn't. Point me to a column of a table in a database containing all of your employee's salaries, tell me which one is the CEO's salary, and I can whip up a query to compute that ratio in less than a minute.

EDIT: Well, okay, if the given RDBMS doesn't contain rank or median functions, then it'll take a bit longer to implement. But not that much longer.

The costly part is that many companies don't have this available as simply as you assume.

As a BI consultant, this makes me feel very secure in my job and future business.
