Hi All, Is it possible to use Spreadsheet has a database to store data...I don't want to use any database externally, I want to use Python, Google Apps and spreadsheet only.
For Example: using Python and Google Apps I have developed leave application form, on submit of that form I have to store that data in to spreadsheet instead of using any database (MySql or Oracle)
If its possible give me some reference code
Thanks in advance
I would recommend you store this data internally in a flat file or database and transform the data to the spreadsheet. Doing it this way will let you change with the future. If you use google apps spreadsheet, and the api changes even slightly, you could lose data. If you store in an xls spreadsheet, you might as well store in a flat file and export the data as that will be easier than reading/writing to a spreadsheet.
Why do you want to do it this way?
Whilst storing data in a spreadsheet might seem like a good idea at first, as your application gets more complicated you may come to regret it. If your data structures become more complicated - especially if you need relationships between tables - you'll be much better off with a database.
My advice would be to use a database and then use The xlwt module to convert your data into Spreadsheet format.
