Hello All,

I have a requirement to import data from excel to oracle Db.
i have installed XE 11g in my local machine .
I got PL SQL package as_read_xlsx written by Anton Scheffer . compiled the package .
created directory and placed an excel test.xlsx in that folder with two records
and used below query to get data.

SELECT *
FROM TABLE(as_read_xlsx.read (
as_read_xlsx.file2blob ('DOC', 'test.xlsx')))

It is not giving any error but not showing any records .
Anyone has any idea why no records are fetching .
is there any specific way to do .

Regards,
Malu

You might want to ask the author.

Usually I'd just turn it into a csv and sqlldr it into the DB.

Hi,

Please create the external table and load the .xls data into DB.

U can refer below link

Whether or not sqlldr (as mentioned by Roachcoach) or external tables is best would be dependent on details we do not have. But either way, the process will not load a true .xls file. It must a delimited text file. Again, as mentioned by Roachcoach.
