Not going to lie. I have made it really far using Google sheets as a database until I had to move to a full DB. Google Sheets is just an interface to a Google run DB anyways. A lot of the time I would just load sheets(tables) into data structures from a SQL library and use it like a regular database.
You are talking like you can get anything out of Google these days. I seriously am using Bing at work. Everyone laugh but do you know who does have their first page full of paid links? This guy.
