I would have thought that Oracle is System 7 compatible but I am not sure. If not the product you need to look at is SQL*Loader which can take any format data file and load it into any number of Oracle database tables. It is a very easy product to use and well documented in the Oracle Utilities Guide supplied as part of the Oracle documentation set.

Good Luck.
