Import data from EXCEL to Oracle table using PL/SQL Developer

After long time I am writing this article.

Here I am explain how we can import EXCEL data into Oracle table by using PL/SQL developer.
Here is the sample EXCEL sheet.


Now create a table with the columns, "EID","ENAME" and "Salary" in the database as below.

Choose "ODBC Importer" from Tools Menu. 





Select "Excel Files" from the drop down and click on "Connect". Now choose the Excel file and click "ok".






Note : Drives can be choose from the drop down as marked in the above image

Listed the all sheets in selected Excel file. Choose the sheet which having data. We can see preview of the data from "Result Preview".



Click on "Data to Oracle" tab and select "Owner" , "Table" from drop down.



In this case I created table "Test" under "SYS" owner. After selecting the table fields will be mapped automatically, because we created the columns withe same name of the excel columns. Check the preview and click on "Import".

Now Excel data transfer into Oracle table, "TEST".

    when I go to ODBC I don't see anything in my list especially Excel files. I am on Win 10 and tried 32-bit and 64-bit ODBC and none worked. Do I need 64-bit ODBC driver or 32-bit for Win 10
