Sure. But if you use XLS one can suspect that you're not
programming-inclined :) But seriously, OO Database is a nice thing
because you'd better move all this documents that many people prepare
in spreadsheets right inside PostgreSQL. Your xls users won't even
notice the change while their data will be being stored in the DB
directly without any files.
