Simply because all you have is a database excerpt in plain text.
You never asked for flexibility. You asked for data integrity (keep the
exact same date encoding when saving back to a database file).
You do not want to use *flexibility*. What you ask for is automatic
formatting on import.
Yes, the Base component helps to import database data into preformatted
spreadsheets and Writer documents. Base is *not* a database program.
First and foremost it is a bridge to import various types of tabular
data into preformatted documents.
