i am trying to extract data from our GL transaction data based in oracle to excel, but could not export it due to size limitations of rows in excel. Actually i have more than 10 million records inside data table of oracle.Any ideas.

Excel can connect directly to Oracle via ODBC & can issue INSERT directly into the DB using VB.

if you use the AS_XLSX package to export to a true XLSX spreadsheet, simply insert multiple sheets into the spreadsheet. The software is freeware and is located at

They even suggest using this package in asktom.oracle

I use it myself and it works very will.

The OP is stuck exporting the data from the DB to excel, not importing the data into the DB from excel.

And he is (unless wrongly expressed or understood) stuck with row size in Excel so how could this be an Oracle problem? Any way you export to Excel the row size will be the same.

I know that Michel - it's why I told him to export to multiple files, that (and multiple sheets as Bill mentioned) is the only way round that.
