Hi SpaceCowboy,

Oracle has a great feature, called global temporary table. For details see https://www.oracletutorial.com/oracle-basics/oracle-global-temporary-table/. You can create your temporary table(s) only once, they will be there for good. These tables can be populated with INSERT INTO SELECT statements (see https://www.oracletutorial.com/oracle-basics/oracle-insert-into-select/) in the beginning of the transaction. Then they can be modified by UPDATE and/or MERGE (see https://www.oracletutorial.com/oracle-basics/oracle-merge/). When data looks okay in the global temp table, it can be written into its final location by INSERT or MERGE. Simple and straightforward.

Based on these features you probably can put together single perl script using module DBI (DBD::Oracle) and all the steps can be done with only a few $dbh->do(sqlstatement).

Regards

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Problems? Is your data what you think it is?
