Writing in ExcelSheet using UTL_FILE package in Oracle
I am generating CSV file with the UTIL_File package.
Now I would like to format the header in bold when it is opened in MS Excel.
Is there any way to do that using PL/SQL and Oracle 9i?
Thanks
CSV is a plain-text format, it does not allow for any formatting information. If formatting is a must, you could try creating an XML Excel file: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/brian_jones/archive/2005/06/27/433152.aspx
Be aware that this is quite a bit more complicated than creating a CSV file, but it will allow you to create a file that contains formatting information.
