Tables are after all a convenience (they are human readable). I would suggest you try Python or R. You could input your data as org tables, process them with source blocks, and finally output the accumulated results as tables again. Babel should be able to do something like this. If you do work out a solution, it would be great if you share it on the list (maybe a Worg article?). GL -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.
