> Really need to add an Excel connector in SP1.  The easiest way to do this is probably with one of the open source JDBC drivers that work over Excel files.  
> Something like:
> https://xlsql.dev.java.net/ - Excel JDBC driver (GPL unfortunately, so we probably can't distribute the driver)
> http://www.andykhan.com/jexcelapi/ - Java Excel API (GPL too)
> http://xlsjdbc.sourceforge.net/ - LGPL (uses Apache POI), really cheesy and maybe not being updated
> http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/ - Excel API, event-based and not particularly friendly
> http://www.vistaportal.com/products/vistajdbc-QA.htm - commercial
