--- Comment #35 from Pedro <[email protected]> ---
There's so many differences than it's not even funny.
We can start with name: Database range is meaningless to the common user. One
can't even fathom it is supposed to be a similar functionality (hence why it
was placed in Data tab in Tabbed UI instead of Insert tab. In Excel, Table is
in Insert tab).
Scope there: 
1 - Change name of "Define Range" uno command to Table.
2 - Move command from Data Tab to Insert tab in Tabbed UI.

Moving on.
When one defines a table in Excel, it provides a Table design with a Table
Style. Database Range has nothing. 

It has a handle to drag the Table to the neighbor columns and rows. Database
range has nothing visible.

Scope:
1 - Implement a table style upon creation of a database range.
2 - Implement a handle to expand table size.

When selecting the Range in Calc in a completely different command (hidden in a
menu) it is possible to expand the range of the table. However, it does not
propagate the table style. It fills the new cells with new values based on
expanded table.

When creating a Table in Excel, a new tab in the UI is created (Table Design)
with multiple options to change the design of the table (Header Row, First
Column, Last Column, Banded Rows, Total Row, Last Column, Banded Columns).
Nothing in Database Range.

Scope:
Table Styles. Any type of table styles. AutoFormat table styles should be
implemented to Selected Range. It should be possible to better configure
AutoFormat styles.

There's the option to export the table data to Sharepoint list.

There's a Tools group with: 
1 - Remove Duplicates,
2 - Insert Slicer,
3 - Convert to Range
4 - Summarize with PivotTable.

There's nothing in the comparable function of Calc.

Scope: Add all these.

The scope is enormous: new UI, new functions. If no one wants
