Each subsequent change file has records mentioned to added/changed (L) or deleted (E) 
change1
=======
L|Key1 Values
L|Key2 Values
L|Key3 Values

change2
=============
E|Key2 
L|Key4 values

change3
===============
L|Key4 values
E|Key7
L|Key8 values

change4
=============
L|Key7 values
L|Key9 values
I like to combine all the records but which are deleted. For deletion the record has to be deleted after it has been added/changed. I have around 300,000 records and efficient methods would be good. What is the best approach I can take?

Thank you,
artist
