oracle - Create an Excel File (.xlsx) using PL/SQL

In relation to my previous question Return the SQL Statement of an Explicit Cursor, i was able to generate an Excel (.xls) file using DBMS_SQL and UTL_FILE and passing a SYS_REFCURSOR (code is in the previous question). However, one challenge i'm encountering is the generated file is over 25 MB. I will be transmitting this over Email to Business Users and it would surely fill up their mailbox size. When I do manual extracts to xlsx using SQL Developer it just generates around 4 MB of data.

To Address this, would it be possible through PL/SQL to do the following?

  1. Generate a file using a later version of Excel (.xlsx) to compress the size
  2. Compress the .xls file before transmitting

I've also reviewed similar posts here in SO such as Writing in ExcelSheet using UTL_FILE package in Oracle, but as the answer stated, it needs to use Java. So its not applicable to me. Another post, Create an Excel Spreadsheet from a Oracle Database, is also using xls. So its not applicable as well.

Any thoughts?

I've seen a package called as_xlsx by Anton Scheffer, Create an Excel-file with PL/SQL and it addressed my problem. I also modified it a bit to put in Worksheet Names and to allow SYS_REFCURSOR as a Parameter instead of a VARCHAR2 as required in my Previous Post (Return the SQL Statement of an Explicit Cursor).

I added this in the Package Specification for Procedure Overloading:

procedure query2sheet
( p_cur             IN OUT      SYS_REFCURSOR
, p_column_headers  boolean     := true
, p_directory       varchar2    := null
, p_filename        varchar2    := null
, p_sheet           pls_integer := null
, p_sheetname       varchar2    := null
);

I added this in the Package Body for Procedure Overloading (note: the line comments were lines I modified):

procedure query2sheet
( p_cur IN OUT SYS_REFCURSOR
, p_column_headers boolean := true
, p_directory varchar2 := null
, p_filename  varchar2 := null
, p_sheet     pls_integer := null
, p_sheetname varchar2 := null
)
is
    t_sheet     pls_integer;
    t_c         integer;
    t_col_cnt   integer;
    t_desc_tab2 dbms_sql.desc_tab2;
    t_desc_tab  dbms_sql.desc_tab;
    d_tab       dbms_sql.date_table;
    n_tab       dbms_sql.number_table;
    v_tab       dbms_sql.varchar2_table;
    t_bulk_size pls_integer := 200;
    t_r         integer;
    t_cur_row   pls_integer;
    t_d         number;
