Thnx in advance

There is another method where in you can edit the listener file to make an entry for separate service. then create a database link and tns entry to use the service to access the Excel.What you are referring to is called Heterogeneous Services and allows Oracle to treat something as an External database.
For Excel files you would do it like this...
1- Go to Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Data Sources (ODBC)>System DSN and create a data source with appropriate driver. Name it EXCL.
2- In %ORACLE_HOME%\Network\Admin\Tnsnames.ora fie add entry:
EXCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.12.0.24)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = EXCL)
(HS = OK)
Here SID is the name of data source that you have just created.
3- In %ORACLE_HOME%\Network\Admin\Listener.ora file add:
(SID_DESC =
(PROGRAM = hsodbc)
(SID_NAME = <hs_sid>)
(ORACLE_HOME = <oracle home>)
under SID_LIST_LISTENER like:
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = d:\ORA9DB)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = ORA9DB)
(ORACLE_HOME = d:\ORA9DB)
(SID_NAME = ORA9DB)
(SID_DESC =
(PROGRAM = hsodbc)
(SID_NAME = EXCL)
(ORACLE_HOME = D:\ora9db)
Dont forget to reload the listener
c:\> lsnrctl reload
4- In %ORACLE_HOME%\hs\admin create init<HS_SID>.ora. For our sid EXCL we create file initexcl.ora.
In this file set following two parameters:
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = excl
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = 0
5- Now connect to Oracle database and create database link with following command:
SQL> CREATE DATABASE LINK excl
2 USING 'excl'
3 /
Database link created.
Now you can perform query against this database like you would for any remote database.
SQL> SELECT table_name FROM all_tables@excl;
TABLE_NAME
DEPT
EMP... however, from the sounds of the original question the OP is referring to a flat file of data (like a CSV file) and not really an Excel file (.xls) which is a proprietary binary format that you won't be able to read with SQL*Loader or External Tables.
The best method for the OP's requirements would appear to be external tables which were introduced with 9i.

Upload an excel file into a table

Good Morning:
I have to upload the contents of an excel file into a table. Someone knows how to do it?
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
See this sample code.
At selection-screen on value-request for p_file.
call function 'F4_FILENAME'
       exporting
            field_name = 'p_file'
       importing
            file_name = p_file.
clear itab.
call function 'WS_UPLOAD'
       exporting
            codepage                = ' '
            filename                = p_file
            filetype                = 'DAT'
       tables
            data_tab                = itab
       exceptions
            conversion_error        = 1

            invalid_table_width     = 7
            gui_refuse_filetransfer = 8
            customer_error          = 9
            others                  = 10.
Here you need to save your Excel file as a 'DAT' file.
I hope this will help you.

Help Required:How Upload Excel file Into Oracle Table Using PLSQL Procedure

Please Help , Urgent Help Needed.
Requirement is to Upload Excel file Into Oracle Table Using PLSQL Procedure/Package.
Case's are :
1. Excel File is On Users/ Client PC.
2. Application is on Remote Server(Oracle Forms D2k).
3. User Is Using Application Using Terminal Server LogIn.
4. So If User Will Use to GET_FILE_NAME() function of D2K to Get Excel File , D2k Will Try to pick File from That Remote Server(Bcs User Logind from Terminal Server Option).
5. Cannot Use Util_File Package Or Oracle Directory to Place That File on Server.
6. we are Using Oracle 8.7
So Need Some PL/SQL Package or Fuction/ Procedure to Upload Excel file on User's Pc to Oracle Table.
Please Guide me wd some Code. or with Some Pl/SQL Package, or With SOme Hint. Or any Link ....
Jus help to Sort This Issue ........
you can also write me on :
[email protected], [email protected]

TEXT_IO is a PL/SQL package available only in Forms (you'll want to post in the Forms forum for more information). It is not available in a stored procedure in the database (where the equivalent package is UTL_FILE).
If the Terminal Server machine and the database machine do not have access to the file system on the client machine, no application running on either machine will have access to the file. Barring exceptional setups (like the FTP server on the client machine), your applications are not going to have more access to the client machine than the operating system does.
If you map the client drives from the Terminal Server box, there is the potential for your Forms application to access those files. If you want the files to be accessible to a stored procedure in the database, you'll need to move the files somewhere the database can access them.

SQLDeveloper TeamThanks for the reply but the problem was I needed to convert the file to a csv format. To do this open the file in Excel and re-save as CSV Comma Delimiter. Don't worry about data-types because when the file is uploaded to SQL Developer, you will have the chance to set all the parameters, data-types and so on.
Once I did this and try opening the file, the setup window opened and I was able to do all the additional tweaking and convert the data to a table.
Because of this I am speculating that SQL Developer does not work with Excel XLSX extension.
Thanks again!

Thanks in advance

Hi Daniel,
Export Data
Purpose
Use this procedure to export SAP data to a local file such as Microsoft Excel.
Menu Path
Use the following menu path to begin this process:
·         SystemèListèSaveèLocal File
Helpful Hints
When reviewing fields, R = Required, O = Optional and C = Conditional.
Procedure
1.       Start the transaction using the menu path or transaction code.
      Whatever Data You Want to Export
2.       Select SystemèListèSaveèLocal File. This works well for any data in SAP. This is the only option for the top-level (first page) of a report.
In a drill-down view within a report the Local File button on the toolbar may be used and has the same options.
      Choose File Format
3.       Click .
4.       Click to continue. If prompted for a format after choosing Spreadsheet, select Excel Table to get an Excel file that can be modified more easily.
      Choose File Save Location Step 1
5.       Click to the right of the Directory field to choose a different location.
      Choose File Save Location Step 2
6.       Click or browse your computer to locate the directory where you want to save your file.
7.       Complete the following field:
·         File name:
    You must add the proper file extension to the name of your file (.xls for Excel, .rtf for Rich Text, .html for HTML). The file extension tells your computer what program to open the file with. If you do not have the file extension at the end, you may not be able to open it.
8.       Click to continue.
      Generate File in Location and Format Selected
9.       Click to create the file in the location and format selected. In this example the file was named "example.xls" and saved on the desktop.
Result
You have completed the export process.

Uploading excel file into internal table with field length more than 255

I am trying to upload the data from an excel file through function module 'TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP'.
I have tested by changing the field type from string, and char2000.
But it is accepting only 255 chars from the cell content.
How to get the total content of the field if it is more than 255 char.

hi,
you can use any of the following procedures:
For uploading data from excel to internal table refer standard report RC1TCG3Z in se38 :
                                           or
You can use the FM 'ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE' itself. Please check if you have done it this way . But, this FM can be a little time consuming if the excel has large data, so you can use the FM u2018GUI_UPLOADu2019.

Insert excel file into a table

Hi all,
I have a excel file with a lot of records. I want to insert all this records into a table without using a insert statement for every record.
Can any one help me with this?

If you have a .csv file then use an EXTERNAL TABLE so you can read the file just like it were a table...
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/9i/SQLNewFeatures9i.php#ExternalTables
then all you have to do is simply:
insert into your_table
select ...
from your_external_table;You can find many examples on AskTom, for example:
