Hi,

I have an excel sheet, I need to do some manipulation of the data contained in excel before I load it in the database. I am thinking of automating it.

How do i go about it? Which is the best way to do it?

Thanks,
Ramya.

Look at jakarta POI - you can read excel files, massage the data and then send to database.

As much as I hate to say it, it would probably be easier to do this with Visual Basic or possibly C#. I say this because VB integrates with Excel and databases (via ODBC) very easily. As much as I love Java, I strongly believe in using the right tool for the job. In this case, VB seems like a better choice than Java.

Perhaps it is possible, to save the excel-file as csv?
