Presumably, the referential integrity and triggers are in place to prevent bad data from being loaded. Rarely are such things 100% effective. You could probably still load some bad data if you wanted to. The fact that the data is coming from Access really has nothing to do with it. My advice would be to do everything possible to ensure that the data in Access is good and correct before loading it into Oracle.
