Excel VS SQL Database

Hi,

Can anyone help me out?

I currently have a nice and stable QVW in which it has a lot of records in it..currently this records are being read by qlikview from excel spreadsheets and like my reload time in the server takes about 1.5 hours to finish. Now thats a very long time to wait for my records be updated in the server. My question is would my reload time be ay faster if i were to convert all my excel spreadsheets into a one big database?

Can you guys give me like a Pro's and Con's of having a database and having non?

hope to get some feedbacks from the comunity.

Thanks in advance!
