Ron,

If it were me, I would use Sql*Loader to load the data into a "loading" db tables, and then use a PL/SQL script to read that table and process the records into wherever it is needed. You can certainly guarantee that the data will be read in the correct order (by the PL/SQL script) by creating additional columns in this loading table, and load the data/time, or a sequence number.

this seems to be the easiest way to do this.

hope this helps.

We are trying to replace a VB program with SQL*Loader. Two Questions. The input file contains record types. A type 1 header record contains data that must be retained and combined with a type 3 record. Also, depending on the record type the data is loaded into different tables. Is all this possible in SQL*Loader?  

Thanks!
Ron
