What kind of file? You can restore it if it's backup file. If oracle data are in text file, you can load them to sql table with bcp.

Did you mean to create a table or database?

If you have SQL Server installed , you could do an IMPORT from Excel into SQL Server.

If you have SQL server installed you could create two simple DTS packages. Each one would have a source file item and a sql server connection. Then add a transform data task. Set the source of the transform task to be the file, set the destination and click the create button. This when executed will drag the file contents into a table. This is a very rough and ready way of doing it, but straight forward if you can use DTS.
