Oracle S.Q.L Developer is the best tool to do this job. Just manage the excel data and apply the label (column headings) same as you have in your table where you want to import the data. Than go to S.Q.L Developer and right click on the desired table and go to Import Data. Here you will be asked to choose the file which you want to import into the table and than select the sheet which is to be imported. This is a step-by-step wizard which will ask you to map the excel file fields with table and in the next phase click on "Verify". This option will verify the data type of each field from excel imported file with table fields. Be careful data types must be same and if you are importing any date column than must provide date format "DD-MON-RRRR" in fields mapping page. When its get verified without any errors just click on finish and all data of that excel file would be imported into the oracle table.

SQL loader

Or data pump

And your data should be delimited by comma(save as csv)

Basically, when working in the production like environment, you cannot just right click and import data. You need an insert script. You can generate the insert script from excel through Macro codes. Here is an example. http://www.businesshut.com/excel-macros/excel-macro-to-generate-sql-insert/ Other methods are through Concatenate function in excel itself. But this is a headache when the list is of thousand records. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/315504/tricks-for-generating-sql-statements-in-excel Thanks, Javed.

For this project I took an Apex-plugin I have written, (IR) Report to Excel (xlsx), and turned it into a PL/SQL package. With this package it’s very easy to create an Excel2007 file with only a few lines of PL/SQL code. ?1234 begin as_xlsx.query2sheet( 'select * from dual' ); as_xlsx.save( 'MY_DIR', 'my.xlsx' ); end; The main purpose for this package is getting data from the database into an Excel file, so I deliberate did not include some Excel functionality, such as formulas, into the package. Excel itself is a far better tool for such things. Anton The source code for the package: as_xlsx P.S. I have added the possibility to add Comments and MergedCells to the Excel-file P.S.2 And bold/italic fonts P.S.3 Fixed issue with timezones with a regionname P.S.4 Fixed issue with XML-escaping from text P.S.5 Fixed NLS-issue with column width P.S.6 Added p_rgb to get_font P.S.7 Fixed bug in add_string P.S.8 Fixed set_autofilter (only one autofilter per sheet, added _xlnm._FilterDatabase) Added list_validation = drop-down

If it is using plsql then you need to use utl_file or external tables to load the data from excel sheet.
