Hi there,

I would like to combine functionality of Oracle and Excel.

The idea is to use Oracle-Table-records-columns inside excel-spreadsheet to calculate new values of other Oracle-Table-records-columns. The spreadsheet itself should also reside inside a Oracle-'BLOB' with information on which Oracle-source-records are used inside the excel-spreadsheet.

A trigger inside Oracle should cause

  1.. a particularly spreadsheet be sent to a oracle-client machine,
  2.. start excel,
  3.. update target values,
  4.. as soon as source-records have changed.
  5..

How is this possible?

Thanks in advance.
