Answer 1

And the problem is where?
You don't know how to work with spreadsheets (assuming excel) or Oracle?
OK here is an example
Table is as follows:
SQL> create table mytable (col1 varchar2(100), col2 varchar2(100));
Table created.Excel cell contains following value
Latvia's men & women
You need it to insert in the table
The formula for insert creation is (one example of thousands of course ;)
=CONCATENATE("INSERT INTO mytable (col1, col2) values ('";SUBSTITUTE(C16;"'";"''");"', 'aaa');")As a result you need in sqlplus do following
SET SCAN OFF
and then just call script with your calculated excel column values and for particular above mentioned column and table it would be:
SQL> set scan off
SQL> INSERT INTO mytable (col1, col2) values ('Latvia''s men & women', 'aaa');
1 row created.Gints Plivna
