I would export the table to excel file format (or exporting as CVS and
importing it in Excel and then save as Excel - all done via COM from your
script), place this in ID via your script and then use Woodwings SmartStyles
plugin to format your table (the plugin is also available via the scripting
interface)

Yes, that should of course be possible .

Postscript should be able, SVG not because IIRC ID can't yet import SVG
files (but export), but I would say scripting Illustrator is the most
elegant and beautiful way.
