Goal

Usually in order to read data from an Excel file stored within a Blob field, the file would have to be extracted from the Database and opened within Excel.  
There is a 3rd party JAR file that provides the ability to access the Excel file within the Blob field and extract data.

 There are a number of samples available via the web to illustrate how to do this with Java outside the database. This sample focuses on how to do this via a Java Stored Procedure.
