RE: Excel to oracle

Thanks for all the replies.

I am able to load data to the table.the table is having a number column and a varchar column.
In the varchar column *some* records are being inserted with double quotes at the beginning and
end of the data feild and all witha comma as the end.I don't want these double quote and
comma.How do avoid these from going into the table.

Thanks
Ravindra

Use the save as option in Excel and save as a comma or tab delimited text file. In other words a CSV or TXT file. The CSV is comma delimited, the TXT is tab delimited. SQLLOADER can use either (with the correct control file)

I have a Excel file.How to port the data to Oracle table.

I read some artical about using ODBC and things like that.But I am not clear.

How can we generate a dat file delimited with comas so that I can use SQlLOADer to port the data.

Thanks
Ravindra
