Oracle to Excel - PL/SQL export procedure

Question

I’m writing pl/sql procedure that exports data from Oracle to Excel. I need data formatting so I can’t use CSV. I’ve already tried with XML but it generates too large files

Answer 1

I found this solution on the web (not invented by me), using SQL plus:

set feed off markup html on spool on
spool c:\table1.xls
select * from table1;
spool off
set markup html off spool off
