Convert Excel XML to XLS using PL/SQL API

Ajay KapurOct 4 2012 — edited Oct 4 2012
Is there a PL/SQL API that can convert an Excel XML file to xls format? I have an Excel formatted XML CLOB in the database which I would like to convert to xls before downloading it in a browser. The reason I need this conversion is that the user, who is very picky, does not want to see the Windows 7 warning/question that says you are trying to open this file whose format is different from its extension (the file format is xml and it is being opened as xls).

Is there any other way that this can be done?

Thanks,

AJ
