The problem with that is I have to manipulate the data before I can load it. I could manipulate the date and write it to a new file and then load it using SQL*Loader. I would rather just have one script to load the data. The amount of data that I am loading on a regular basis is anywhere from 300,000 to 400,000 records. That is spread out among 5 or 6 different files. Each file has a different format. The largest file, about 200k records, only takes a few hours to run. I am not too concerned about how long it takes. I just want to know if there is a better way to load the data using Perl/DBI.

Thanks,
Sam
