How to Download data - exceeding 65000 rows into multiple spreadsheet

Question

Hi all,
I am having some issues with the download.
The user is trying to download certain reports generated in the application into an excel sheet. He is not able to download beyond 65000 records. What I need is a way to automatically download the data into multiple spreadsheet if it exceeds 65000 rows (limit for excel 2000).
Please let me know if there is any web service which does this or any other solution to this problem.
Regards,
t

Hi Arie,
thank you for your suggestion.
I am using almost a similar procedure to download the records into excel. But the problem is its only downloading 65000 records because of the limit excel has.
I am pasting the code which will give you a idea.
It would be great if you help me modifying the code such that if the records exceeds 65000, remaining data gets downloaded to sheet2.
for example if there are 70000 records, the first 65000 records gets loaded into sheet1 and remaining 5000 into sheet2.
begin
-- Set the MIME type
owa_util.mime_header( 'application/octet', FALSE );
-- Set the name of the file
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="emp.csv"');
-- Close the HTTP Header
owa_util.http_header_close;
-- Loop through all rows in EMP
for x in (select e.emp_id, e.s_id, e.emp_number
from test2_csv_download1 e where rid between 1 and 65000 )
loop
-- Print out a portion of a row,
-- separated by commas and ended by a CR
htp.prn(x.emp_id ||','|| x.s_id ||','||
x.emp_number || chr(13));
end loop;
-- Send an error code so that the
-- rest of the HTML does not render
htmldb_application.g_unrecoverable_error := true;
end;
thanks
