Is it possible to make a native Excel sheet from UNIX? We need basic formatting of the resulting sheet.
For example the field act_msg is a VARCHAR2 with 4000 Byte. In CSV this is a mess...

as well as Perl, you can also use the Apache POI libraries, which give a Java interface (works fine on any platform). See Apache POI - the Java API for Microsoft Documents. I'm using it at the moment, both for reading and writing Excel spreadsheets (xls and xlsx both supported).
