Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Producing .mdb output from sqlplus or SQL or PL/SQL
Patrice,
Use the utility Tom Kyte has on his site called 'owa_sylk'. It will generate SLK files that Excel opens automatically. We use it for lots of end user reports.
See the following link:

Patrice,
You can certainly spool a file that Excel will open automatically. Simply create a tab-delimited output file, and make sure the extension is .xls . Excel will open it and automatically have everything in the correct columns.
You can create a tab-delimited file by selecting the following:
set feedback off
set lines 200
set trimspool on
set pages 1000
spool data.xls
select column_1||chr(9)||column_2||chr(9)||column_3 from any_table;
exit;
I do this all the time.
Hope this helps.

I would like the ability to create a file which, when double-clicked upon, will open in Access or Excel automatically.
(I know that Access can import other formats, I just want it to be automatic for users who don't know / don't want to bother importing files.)

.mdb files are Microsoft Access database files. Best best is import the data from the database into Access using ODBC connection or to create a flat file. Access can work directly with the flat file (hey Access has been doing this for years, Oracle just got this feature!) or you can import the flat file.

I am wondering if it is possible to produce .mdb or .xls format files from inside Oracle.
Can this be done?
