The blocks are stored in something called LevelDB, which is already a very capable database format. While you wouldn't have any fun opening it up in Excel (it's 10GB afteral), you can use a python application named Abe to throw it all into a Postgres/MySQL database if you really insist. I would personally advise against it though.
