I heard , ( I think in the same list ) ... FILE PATH can be a path to your NT local machine too... ( even can have multiple UTL_FILE_DIR locations on NT machine )

So we should be able to read a file on NT machine to load the data to the Oracle using UTL_FILE package.

Here is an example. As far as I know, utl_file package reads data from unix box. So the file path below should be on Unix and be careful about your rights writing or reading from this path.

DECLARE outfile_handle UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
v_test VARCHAR2(1000) ;

BEGIN outfile_handle := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('FILE PATH','file_name','A');

v_test := 'This is a Test ' ;

To write a line into the file

UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE(outfile_handle, v_test) ;

To close the file

UTL_FILE.FCLOSE (outfile_handle) ;

EXCEPTION
WHEN UTL_FILE.INVALID_FILEHANDLE
THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Invalid File Handle'); UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
WHEN UTL_FILE.INVALID_MODE
THEN
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Invalid Mode');
WHEN UTL_FILE.INTERNAL_ERROR
THEN
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Internal Error'); WHEN UTL_FILE.INVALID_OPERATION
THEN
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Invalid Operation'); WHEN UTL_FILE.INVALID_PATH
THEN
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Invalid Path');
WHEN UTL_FILE.READ_ERROR
THEN
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Read Error');
WHEN UTL_FILE.WRITE_ERROR
THEN
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Write Error');
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND
THEN
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('No Data Found');
WHEN VALUE_ERROR
THEN
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Value Error' || step || ' ' || SUBSTR(V_BUFF,25,7) || step);
WHEN OTHERS
THEN

UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL; 
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Error!' || substr(sqlerrm,1,75) || step); 
utl_file.fclose_all;

Hi,
You'd better do the following:
* Convert the excel file to .csv file.
* Use utl_file package to read the data and insert to Oracle Tables.
