Grant,
That's why I thought I would add that there might be an application already out there, I can't be 100% sure but I have seen apps that have been able to manipulate CSV files (IIS Server log files in particular) but whether they will do what you are looking at doing then that I can't answer.

That's actually the path we're heading down (a custom java app); I thought I'd post here to ensure we're not re-inventing the wheel... Thanks!

We do not and cannot have SQLloader. The DB is ORA10g. The servers are old and under fairly high load all the time. We've tried splitting the csv into smaller chunks and inserting into the DB and also trying a SQL link straight into the CSV. Anything we try time's out and basically brings down the server. Who can shed light on the most efficient way to solve this problem?
