converting flat files to oracle tables or unix

hi!

   I wonder if there is any way to convert a flat file into a oracle table without the need to create the table first. i meant an automathical way of calling a text file(flat file) and create a table with it .

   Can i do this with unix also"? how?

           thank you, kevin
