How to get data from Oracle Database to Excel?

Dear All,

I am trying to access/connect oracle database to insert and select data
from
tables. I don't know what to use like ADO? ADOX? ADODB? or others?

I was trying to connect using the following code:

Dim db As ADODB.Connection

Set db = New ADODB.Connection

db.ConnectionString = "Data Source='cis2';" & _
"User ID='cis2view';Password='viewcis2@hkdb';"
db.Open

db.ConnectionTimeout = 30


db.Close
Set db = Nothing


From Data Source which mean I need to setup a Name from ODBC call Cis2
right?

Does anyone have any idea what is the code look like and how to write it?

Thanks for your helf

David

Personally, I would attempt to extract the data through MSQuery (Data >
GetExternalDate > CreateNewQuery......), although you would need permission
for the access by virtue of a driver.

You can use a Addin to simplify your task for example you can use SQLodbc (http://sqlodbc.t35.com)

here how you can use it

=sql.execute("CONNECTION STRING";"YOUR SQL CODE");
