Yeah, but in reality:

- You'd at very least set the Excel worksheet up with data ranges, then all you have to do programatically is ask the worksheet to refresh itself from the database. Easier to maintain.

- You'd think very seriously about using Excel Services (or a 3rd party product) rather than kill your SQL Server (and your sanity) with COM calls. Not to mention the concurrency impact.

Just because we can, doesn't mean we should...
