Are you saying that MySQL is free but not that good, so people use spreadsheets.
Or what.

MySQL is free. MySQL is a fantastic piece of software. But for the uses that a lot of people want a database, MySQL is like taking an 18-wheeler to get groceries.
Here, here and very descriptive. :)
Here's the big difference in my eyes between something like MySQL and Access -- and you would have had to use both to realize this:causing the problem, it is the lack of a user interface or GUI front end and understanding required to install and make it work similar to M$ Access.
Install MSO Pro with Access. Go to Start => All Programs => (wherever) => Microsoft Access. You can immediately construct a new database using drag 'n drop, fill-in-the-blank, GUI stuff. You can construct a useful implementation without knowing a damn thing about SQL, OBDC or any of that mess. Those tools are available if you need them, but they aren't necessary to get going.
From what I have seen on this list it is not the database itself that is
In my opinion if the the MySQL database back end had a GUI like Access does, there would be far fewer questions on the list about an Access lookalike. all the users want to do is point, click, install and use the database without having to know how to drive an 18-wheeler to skin a cat just the way you like it. :)
To my knowledge there are database front-ends like Rekall but I have not seen or experimented with it/them.
