Gavin and Dave, from my Oracle book, the hint "USE_NL" should be followed by "(the_table)" in syntax. Am I reading it wrong?

Gavin, regarding your first point, I suggest you consider having your code on the application server call a stored procedure that does the two queries Dave suggested. This way there's only one network connection from the application server to the database.
