Use SQL*Loader to get all strings into a table, labelled with your own primary key.
So, your records are filled by varchar2(2000) or varchar2(4000).

Later you can do what ever you have to do from this table to any other tables by using PL/SQL (or Pro*C if very complicated).

SQL*Loader has some real good advantages. The disadvantage you can overcome by inserting into a "stage"-table.
