is this one time effort or you have to do this every time?
if its just one time only:
1) export the excel file as csv , choose a suitable delimiter
2) loop through the csv file, construct SQL statements as you go along
3) depending on which database you have, there will usually be some command line database tool to bcp into the database.
if its every time you need to do this: i suggest you use programming languages such as Perl/Python which have libraries to extract data from excel file (automated). Then as usual, construct SQL statements and do your database updating. there may also be command line tools designed to extract excel data as well so you can also use that in your script.

SIEVESHELL(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation SIEVESHELL(1)
NAME
sieveshell - remotely manipulate sieve scripts
SYNOPSIS
sieveshell [--user=user] [--authname=authname] [--realm=realm] [--exec=script] server[:port]
sieveshell --help
DESCRIPTION
sieveshell allows users to manipulate their scripts on a remote server. It works via MANAGESIEVE, a work in progress.
The following commands are recognized:
list list scripts on server.
put <filename> upload script to server.
get <name> [<filename>] get script. if no filename display to stdout
delete <name> delete script.
activate <name> activate script.
deactivate deactivate all scripts.
OPTIONS
-u user, --user=user
The authorization name to request; by default, derived from the authentication credentials.
-a authname, --authname=authname
The user to use for authentication (defaults to current user).
-r realm, --realm=realm
The realm to attempt authentication in.
-e script, --exec=script
Instead of working interactively, run commands from script, and exit when done.
