Re: Create excelfile from pl/sql

I'm not sure what you mean by "going through the import step." If this means you want to write something other than a comma seperated file, I don't have an answer. If you can use a csv file what we do is write a file with the extension .csv. Because it is part of an application with many things going on before writing the line we build up the line concatenating with commas between and quoting those values that contain commas. Clicking on the filename opens the file in Excel (or several other spread sheets that our users requested) when the .csv extension has been associated with that application.
