How are you pasting the rows into Oracle?

If you have Microsoft Access, one simple method is:

* Create a link to the Excel spreadsheet in Access
* Create a link to the Oracle table in Access
* Create a simple query in Access that selects all rows from the Excel

spreadsheet
* Modify the query type of the simple query to be an append query, and instruct it to append to the Oracle table * Excute the simple query that has been modified to be an append query Access will insert all of the rows from the Excel spreadsheet into the Oracle table without requiring copy and paste.

Another method is to use a macro in Excel to insert each row into the Oracle database, but this is a bit more difficult to code than the above method.
