There is a query tool called GQL from Andyne Computing Limited in Kingston, Ontario. This tool runs on MAC and Windows, can access Oracle and can transfer query results to Excel. Contact them at 1-800-267-0665.
GQL received a good review in MacWeek earlier this year.
I am a consultant and we are using GQL on a client/server Oracle project to give scientists and managers access to environmental data. Using GQL they can move data to Excel and other tools for analysis and graphing.
Feel free to call and ask questions about GQL and our experience.
