1) create a DSN that points to the excel (xls) file
2) apply this coding pattern usnig Sam$ as the sheet name:
import java.sql.*;
class JavaExcel
{
JavaExcel()
{
try
{
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc dbc:JavaExcel","","");
Statement st = con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery("Select Name,Marks from [Sam$]");
while (rs.next())
{
System.out.println(rs.getString("Name"));
System.out.println(rs.getInt("Marks"));
System.out.println("-------");
}
}
catch (Exception e) {e.printStackTrace();}
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
new JavaExcel();
}
}
