don't treat me wrong but
do a COMPLETE datamodel REDESIGN !
the way you have organized your data using dbase and having to work with it's limited relational capabilities is vwery much different from how you should do it using a modern rdbms. after that use the delimited or fixed length ascii files exported from you dbase tables and import them into oracle using sql*loader. to move from a "flat" model to a relational one is best done importing the data 1 to 1 into temporary tables on the oracle side and mvoe the data in the relational way into the new real tables.
