Rather than using some 3rd party library or the Excel automation (with it's added overhead) you can just use ADO.NET.

You would simply use the T-SQL your used to with OleDbCommand objects.

CREATE TABLE Sheet1 (id INT, name char(255))
CREATE TABLE Sheet2 (id INT, name char(255))
// for inserts use a parameterized command with ?'s
INSERT INTO Sheet1 (id, name) VALUES(?, ?)
INSERT INTO Sheet1 (id, name) VALUES(?, ?)

You'd create your temp excel file using the Path.GetTempFileName and output it, after which you can delete the temp file.
