RE: Producing .mdb output from sqlplus or SQL or PL/SQL

[Jeremy Pulcifer]

Title: Message

In many cases, if you create a CSV file (comma-delimited) Excel will execute and read it properly. Excel generally sets itself as the default editor for .csv files.

 

I don't know of any way to do this for Access.

I would like the ability to create a file which, when double-clicked upon, will open in Access or Excel automatically.

 

(I know that Access can import other formats, I just want it to be automatic for users who don't know / don't want to bother importing files.)

.mdb files are Microsoft Access database files.  Best best is import the data from the database into Access using ODBC connection or to create a flat file. Access can work directly with the flat file (hey Access has been doing this for years, Oracle just got this feature!) or you can import the flat file.

I am wondering if it is possible to produce .mdb or .xls format files from
inside Oracle.

Can this be done?
