I love the way the technical spec was written and finished first and then they came to the DBA to ask how/if it can be done. Who else has been there / done that?
been there multiple times, only done it once
every other time i've told them how it should be done 😉
Still there could be some very valid technical reasons why it had to be done with stored procedures.
And Excel is the defacto tool for data manipulation outside of the database team
