how to read data from outlook email in oracle pl-sql

ap90792Feb 13 2014 — edited Feb 13 2014

I recieve a  spreadsheet(.xls) from business user on daily basis via email by 10.00 AM daily. Right now

  1. We manually download the file from email.
  2. Place it in a folder
  3. Then upload sheet data into a oracle table. (There is existing java setup application when clicked on submit upload ,it loads data into a table).

I am looking for assistance where

Case 1) " PL-SQL reads the attached excel file automatically around 10.30  from my outlook email and loads data into table " .

Case 2) If Case 1 is not implementable via PL-SQL then looking for " PL-SQL reads the excel file from specified folder in my WINDOWS 2007  automatically around 10.30  and loads data into table "

Environment details : Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production

PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.3.0 - Production CORE 11.2.0.3.0

Production TNS for Linux: Version 11.2.0.3.0 -

Production NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.3.0 - Production

*Also we dont have access to UNIX-servers to place the files and think about utilizing unix shell script flexibility to achieve this.
