I'm attempting to pull data from an Oracle 10g database (Enterprise Ed.) into an Excel Spreadsheet, using the ODBC driver supplied by an Oracle 10g Client installation.
I am able to pull most data that I want this way, however when I try to pull anything from our database that is contained in a nested table (I hate those things), I'm receiving a "General ODBC Error" pop-up from Excel.
I can execute the same query in SQL Plus without error.
Is there a log or trace file in Windows somewhere that might give some clue as to what is causing the error?
Thank you all in advance!

After some more research, I've found that the ODBC does not support Oracle-specific objects such as nested tables. Oracle calls what I'm seeing "expected behavior", and recommended un-nesting the tables to retrieve the data into a view.
Thank you for your help!
