My Excel sheet has a column with data value ranging from all numeric to alphanumeric. (Mixed data type). When i read this column using
jdbcdbc, the datatype that i get depends on the data present in first row of this column. If first value for this col is 999, it picks up SQL data type as 8 (decimal). if it is M999, it picks SQL data type as as 12(varchar). The trouble is, whatever is the datatype, rs.getString(..) returns null whenever other type of data is encountered. Can someone suggest whats the solution for this data problem such that i always get the data present in the excel sheet. thanks.
