I think you can read a dbf file using ODBC and then use the SQLPLUS "copy" command to access the dbf file. Youll essentially copy the contents of the dbf file into a staging table and then use SQL to synchronize the staging table with your main table. Alternately you can convert the dbf to text and then use utl_file or sqlloader or whatever to load the flat file.
txt2dbf, dbf2txt
