Export data to Excel + use of xsd

Hi,
I'd like to export data from oracle to excel using pl/sql. These files go to subcontractors who will have to make some kind of customization to that data. I want to prevent these subcontractors from writing trash to this excelfile (writing text to a numbercolumn). As far as I know, this can be done using xml schema (supported since excel 2003).
Is it possible to generate an excelfile using pl/sql and also include an xml-schema according to the columntype defined inside the database?
Oracle Version is 11GR1
Thanks

Thanks for your reply.
As far as my understanding of xml and xsd is correct: XML is used to transfer data to an excel-sheet. This is the data from a table/query or something like that.
The XML Schema defines the structure of this data. Lets say you have the following table:
create table test(
x number
,y varchar2(20)
Exporting the content of this table might result in the following excel-sheet
x | y
|20 | test |
|30 | test |
Because this excelfile is sent to a subcontractor, I can't control the data he inserts into x or y. He might insert
x | y
|20 | test |
|30 | test |
|test | 40 |
When trying to import this table, there would be errors. Now I'll call the subcontractor telling him that he's not allowed to insert text into x. To avoid this situation, I'd like to use XML Schema. If there is another way to prevent this situation from happening, pls tell me.

Hi Simon,
It is not giving any error message, but not generaitng the output also. But if i removed all the prefixed CLIENT_ , then I will get the out put in the Application Server machience (Export the datas from the argument DataBlock to the Excel sheet) , but I need the same in the Client Machience, thats why I prefixed the CLIENT_, but i thing even though it wont for every methods, because i read like that in the Webutil Demo Documentation.
Thank U, Thank U Very much

Problems in exporting data to Excel from WebDynpro

Hi,
I'm trying to transport data to Excel using the WebDynpro Binary Cache. The table data I have has certain special characters like & , < and > . I get an XML Parse error while trying to retrieve the XML List from the Binary Cache. The detailed error is Whitespace is not allowed. If table data is without these special characters Excel Export happens fine.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bala

I got the same error message and find the solution (knowing that this is an old thread, but maybe in future it can helps someone)
I've changed my TableUtilities class (getting from this excellent blog: /people/sap.user72/blog/2006/05/04/enhancing-tables-in-webdynpro-java-150-custom-built-table-utilities), adding the CDATA Element

Problem in exporting data to excel in nwds 7.3

Hi All,
I was using the following code for exporting data to excel in NWDS 7.3
private IWDCachedWebResource getCachedWebResource(byte[] file, String name,
WDWebResourceType type) {
IWDCachedWebResource cachedWebResource = null;
if (file != null) {
cachedWebResource = WDWebResource.getWebResource(file, type);
cachedWebResource.setResourceName(name);
return cachedWebResource;
I was getting the error in the following line cachedWebResource = WDWebResource.getWebResource(file, type); when I clicked the quick help it ststed the getWebResource method is depricated. Kindly provide some assistance on what is the new method in its place.
Thank you

Hi Ganesh,
Thanks that worked fine, but when we go further we are facing problem ie
byte[] excelXMLFile;
IWDCachedWebResource cachedExcelResource = null;
String fileName = dataNode.getNodeInfo().getName() + ".xls";
try {
// create Excel 2003 XML data as a byte array for the given context node,
// attributes and headers
excelXMLFile = toExcel(dataNode, columnInfos).getBytes("UTF-8");
// create a cached Web Dynpro XLS resource for the given byte array
// and filename
cachedExcelResource = getCachedWebResource(
excelXMLFile, fileName, WDWebResourceType.XLS);
// Store URL and file name of cached Excel resource in context.
if (cachedExcelResource != null) {
wdContext.currentContextElement().setExcelFileURL(
cachedExcelResource.getURL());
wdContext.currentContextElement().setExcelFileName(
cachedExcelResource.getResourceName());
// Open popup window with a link to the cached Excel file Web resource.
openExcelLinkPopup();
} else {
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(
"Failed to create Excel file from table!", true);
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(
e.getLocalizedMessage(), true);
} catch (WDURLException e) {
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(
e.getLocalizedMessage(), true);
The above bold lines also would need to be converted to inputstream, but not sure how to correct that
We are following the below pdf for the implementation.

Export data to excel and table column headers

I noticed that with LV 2012 when I call the method "Export Data to Excel" for a table, the table headers (= column names) are not exported to excel.
Am I right? I think that the column names should be exported too...
As a matter of fact when you call the method "Export to simplified image" the column names are included
How can I export the table column names to excel?

In this document there is a full description of how to export data from LabVIEW to Excel.
Using a table, the method "Export data to excel" should export the "currently selected data", and data can be programmatically selected using ActiveCell property (as described here).
With ActiveCell I can select the column headers too (using negative numbers for row and/or column), and I do this.
And so I expect that when I select "Export data to Excel", the column headers should be exported too (because I selected them!).
I think that the actual behavior is a bug, rather that an expected behavior.
Don't you agree?

How export data in Excel From Visual Composer

Hay everybody,
I would like to export my data result from Visual Composer to Excel. I've tried with an export data buton, but the exported file has a very bad format in Excel. I've tried an hyperlink buton which contain the Reptname data of the query too, but I can't keep my filters. This second solution can be nice for the format. If anyone knows how I can keep my filters, I would be fine.
Thanks

Export data to excel from jsf

How can I export data to excel sheet using jsf ..Any components available..
Thanks in advance.

There is no JSF component which does all the task, but there are enough ways to achieve this. You can use a reporting framework, such as JasperReports or BIRT. You can use a Java Excel API, such as Apache POI HSSF or Andy Khan's JExcelAPI. You can write a plain vanilla CSV or HTML TABLE file which can also be read by Excel.
