RE: Excel to oracle

Where exactly can I RTFM about this then?

I take it that I can make Oracle "think" that an Excel spreadsheet is a table, and do a simple create table excel_table as select...?

Cheers

Mark

You are making your life so difficult... :) As of Oracle 8.16, Oracle provides you with a free gateway to ODBC datasources - you can easily access Excel just as though it was an Oracle table. Why bother with all the transfers and all that? If you still need the table as a native Oracle table, just move the data as you would between two Oracle tables. It works and it is free.
