To edit Excel documents, you need the Excel application. You can also save
such files to your local drive and open them via Google spreadsheets, at
spreadsheets.google.com, however, complex Excel spreadsheets won't be
rendered correctly.

As for editing text, you would need a word processor program, such as Word,
Notepad, etc.

As for databases--depends: Access, MySQL, SQL Server, etc. Do you mean
databases or data tables in Excel docs? If it's the latter, see the first
paragraph of this response.
