In fact that's also the only application case that I would consider
using Calc and Writer for in their current state - for graphing and
printing database data.

Imho the most logical and least error-prone way to use Calc is to do
all your calculations in PostgreSQL and only display and graph the
results in Calc. *Never* do complex calculations in Calc.

Because they don't have a use for it (pure letter-writers for home-use)
or because they don't have a clue (most office users).
