Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Calc will not save file after sheet deleted.

Hi :)

Hmm, well maybe not the absolute worst.  A sieve or broken floppy disc or an 
ancient format that no program can read might be worse but yes, databases with 
an audit-trail are much more secure and plain text such as Csv ensure that there 
will always be some program somewhere that can at least access the data.

Since the days of OpenOffice.org 1.0 I use the same dBase file together with 
Calc data pilots as reporting engine.
I'm pretty sure that this file will take another 50,000 records during the next 
10 years without any problems.

Spreadsheets are the worst data storage, regardless if Excel, ODF or whatever. 
Even a collection of plain text tables is far better than spreadsheets.
