Otherwise needs someone who can use it & understands properly to report the errors.

It's way too big for excel or any other spreadsheet program. The data consists of 86 columns and 34360 rows making it too slow and cumbersome for office programs. BTW, postgresql is a widely used open source database along with mysql, but I chose it because of better built-in functions and adherence to standards.

I do plan on looking at it at some point but have discovered you can explain a lot away by casting a human eye over the results & the good news is I think there are very few errors left a fraction of a % which is amazing considering the amount of info involved & the amount of times it has been updated.

Yes, the developers have indeed made a huge effort but I hope this can be useful in cross-checking and having each nation reported the same way. This can spot for example units with the out-of-line class choices, such as the Somalian Heavy O/M Artillery, which is 130mm and every other nation has Medium O/M Artillery as a class. Just a minor issue, but it helps you switch between the nations.
I'm currently replacing the data with official one, so please be patient. The results you see might be wrong as long as I haven't updated the whole database.
