I've been gathering comments from several people, and in the next days I
will try to summarize these suggestions to be discussed on irc.
Thanks,

I am not an expert of Wikidata but I work a lot
in integration of
databases with several middlewares or tools.
I think that the best way is to ask a solution to store and to download
data in a format compatible with datasheets like CSV.
Excel is considered also a tool to do some basic analysis, but it can be
connected easily to a data source (if well structured).
Excel itself is not a good approach to store data, so it's not a good
solution to keep the data in excel format in a database.
Doesn't make sense to store a 2D tables in a database in my opinion
because the data have no sense and they are not helpful to anyone.
They can be stored like a text file, but I would not imagine the series
of errors that can be generated importing these data again.
