Hi Gontran,

Oh... It's a good idea to start a new thread for each question.

re: using Pandas -- that's not a Lianja issue, of course. Check out pandas.pydata.org for documentation. E.g., https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-doc...ead_excel.html That shows how to get your data out of the DataFrame object, and also how to filter out special characters, comments, etc.

re: creating a cursor -- given you have mentioned large numbers of records, I would likely a) work at figuring out how to import directly into a cursor and only after exhausting all possibilities look at b) creating a table with the required fields. How you proceed from there depends on the context where this will be running and the dev language you want to use.

hth,

Hank
