Need help on writing table from MS Access to MS Excel

[catherine matthews]

Hi everyone,

I need to export a MS Access database table to MS excel spreadsheet in my java program. I read something about JExcelAPI. Is that the only way of doing it or i have some other options? Please help. Thanks

Hi,

You should be able to read the data in the Access table (into memory) using JDBC. Once you have the data in memory you can could write it to Excel format using the Apache POI library: http://poi.apache.org/

Cheers,
Dan

Hi
How large is your data?
if its say >45k records,i suggest using JExcel to POI. Its more stable.
Also,JExcel provides lot of inbuil functions like opening and writing to another sheet if th upper limit of number of rows in a sheet is reached.
All the best.
