Great! We are making some progress!
1. You do have a professional grade Database.
2. It can definitely do SQL stuff.

From your description of "lots of files with up to 1,000 records", I figure we are talking about a lot less than 1 million records.

I don't understand the "problem". You are getting this stuff from an Oracle DB and it is going into another Oracle DB. Oracle has tools that can do this very efficiently. One thing to think about is that: what the heck, even if this takes 12 hours, you would already be done in the time its taken to discuss this on Monks!

As far as generating a CSV, Comma Separated Value file goes, your Oracle DB can do that itself. The command for this report will probably be complex, but the DB can do it. But even more efficient will be the merging tools that Oracle provides, or so I suspect. And I think there are some very good reasons for suspecting that.

At this point, I would ask any Monk who knows about Oracle to give advice. Perl may play a role in this DB merge, but I don't think that it will be the "star" player.
