Importing excel data into oracle tables

645300Apr 21 2010 — edited Apr 26 2010
Hello gurus,
Importing excel data into oracle tables..

I know this is the most common question on the thread ...First, i searched the forum, i found bunch of threads with loading data using sqlloader, converting excel into .Txt, tab delimited file, .csv file etc....

Finally i was totally confused in terms how to get this done....

Here is wat i have
   - Excel file on local computer.
   - i have laod data into dev environment tables(So no risk involved, but want to try something simple)
   - Oracle version 11.1.0.7
   - Sqlplus and toad (editors)
   
 
Here is wat i like to do ....i dont know if its possible
    - Without going to unix server can i do everthing on local system by making use of oracle db and sqlplus or toad
   
SQLLOADER might be one option...but i dont want to go the unix server for placing files and logs and stuff.

Wat will be best and simplest option to do?? and wat format will best to convert from excel into csv, or txt or tab delimited etc.....


If you suggest sqlloader, any code example will be greatly appriciated.


Thank you so much!!!
