Excel2Ingres v2.0 is a data conversion tool for Excel 97 or above.
It is designed to automate the laborious process of raw data
analysis and conversion to Ingres tables.
You can import most file formats, including tab & comma delimited,
into Excel, and at the click of a button, Excel2Ingres will work out
the formats of each column, create an SQL script to create a table,
and produce a correctly formatted version of your data.
It also creates a script to copy the data back from the table later.
There are single-click facilities to FTP your data down to your Ingres
Server, and back again. You can even import ISQL output into a
properly formatted Excel spreadsheet - again, in ONE CLICK.
Excel2Ingres comes with comprehensive on-line help, and sample data.
Each conversion is also configurable in a number of useful ways.
This program has been tested and used in a live corporate environment.
