That's kinda what I'm leaning towards doing right now, but it seems very memory-wasteful. A similar idea i had is to slurp in the file, replace all the '/' with ';' and then go back to parsing a new temp file. The major problem with just splitting on ';' or '/' is dealing with procedures (see sample code), which I've made a work-around for by reading in line by line. 
create or replace procedure myProc
as
begin
  select * from whatever;
end;

As you can see, those types of PL/SQL statements have multiple ';'s but are technically one statement. But I've got a messy work-around where I match up begins and ends for that. Just so people know what problem I'm working with, here's some sample data: 
delete from mytable
  where my_id='12345'
/

insert into anothertable
values ('123456','somedata');
/
