Loading Spread Sheet Data into Oracle 10G XE - Loading the XLS file into Oracle
(Page 2 of 4 )
Log into HR Database
Log into the Oracle sample database HR using the short-cut hyperlink Go To Database Home Page... from All Programs-->Oracle 10g Database Express Edition. This opens up the login page for the HR database. Assuming you have already permitted the hr user with hr password for the database, you can enter the credentials and get access to the database as shown in the next picture.
Move to Home
After the login is accepted you will find the Home page of the HR database, where you will find a number of icons. These were already explained in my first tutorial on this topic on the DevShed site. Please review the previous tutorials and the two more that followed. Click on the Utilities icon, and from the drop-down click on the Load item.
Change to Data Load/Unload
In this window you can load several different formats of data including Text, Spread Sheet and XML. We will be loading the Employees.XLS we created from the Northwind database, therefore click on Load SpreadSheet Data icon.
