Where did you get the idea to use sqlUpdate from? sqlSave is how you write a database to a table.
I think it would be easier to use write.csv to write a .csv file and import that into Excel. ODBC connections to Excel work much better for reading than for writing. And there are other ways: see the relevant manual ('R Data Import/Export').
