Re: HOWTO create in UNIX a *.xlsx (M$ Excel) with data from Oracle (not CSV!)

That was a great Info , Thanks.
Just curious, is there a way I can add one more tab to c:\temp\test_xls.xls and direct result of another query to this.?

Many Thanks,

You could also do it from SQL*Plus if you wanted:

Hi Tom,

I know a nice way to make Excel sheets from sqlplus. You can use the markup html tag in sqlplus.
Here's an example.

SET LINESIZE 4000
SET VERIFY OFF
SET FEEDBACK OFF
SET PAGESIZE 999 SET MARKUP HTML ON ENTMAP ON SPOOL ON PREFORMAT OFF SPOOL c:\temp\test_xls.xls

SELECT object_type
, SUBSTR( object_name, 1, 30 ) object
, created
, last_ddl_time
, status

FROM user_objects
ORDER BY 1, 2
/

SPOOL OFF SET MARKUP HTML OFF ENTMAP OFF SPOOL OFF PREFORMAT ON SET LINESIZE 2000 VERIFY ON FEEDBACK ON Kind regards,

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).
