To add more on performance - SQL2JXL and SQL2POI have pretty good performance - because they use a Java class that processes a SELECT statement in one call - not the many method calls used in the POI service program.

Greg, is SQL2XLSX is similar to SQL2JXL? Or SQL2POI? We use the former often for fairly simple data dumps with column headings - but it's limited to the older XLS format.

I find the CGIDEV2 method offers the possibility of doing almost anything Excel itself can do, albeit at possibly more developer effort at the start.

Cheers

I haven't followed this thread... but here's my 2 cents:

We create XLSX files in two ways.
1. Using CGIDEV2, and
2. Using SQL2XLSX (command)

The second option allows you to generate XLSX from any SQL statement. You can also have XLSX "template" files that it merges the data into.

I typically use #2 when I need to filter or run a macro. I save the filter/macro in the template and then fill it with data using SQL2XLSX.
