The method should be fast enough, because big amount of data is supposed to be transferred, so launching OpenOffice and controlling output through it is not the solution.

There's Excel Writer for output:

http://excel-writer.sourceforge.net/

I'm not aware of anything for OpenOffice, nor for reading Excel files. This 
thread from 2004

http://coding.derkeiler.com/Archive/Ada/comp.lang.ada/2004-10/0299.html

suggests using ODBC to read Excel files.
