Somehow i don't get the feeling that is what is being looked for here. It is certainly possible to write a bit of VBA to insert into a specific oracle table (although I do not especially suggest it because it is icky and slow). I would instead suggest writing the excel worksheet(s) out to a CSV file and use SQL*Loader (or your other favorite toy) to load them or just define them as an external table(s). These both assume that you want to do it in a somewhat automated fashion. If that isn't an issue I know for sure that PL/SQL Developer (from AllRound Automations -- no i don't work for them) will allow you to inport from any ODBC source (of which Excel is one). Not especially speedy but it does work. I am sure that Toad and half a dozen other tools have similar Abilities. As to why someone would want to do something so horrible... I have several small (10K lines or less) tables that are sporadically updated by business users and it is frankly not worth my time to automate the process and it isnt worth the fight to try to get them to put it into a format that is easier for me to deal with.
