You can't query or modify the same table as the trigger is firing on (The old mutating
table problem). What you could do is set up a temp table with a before insert trigger
which would query the other table and take the appropriate actions, this would solve
you having to run a separate procedure after the temp table was loaded. Or load the
temp table and run a procedure. When your done with your insert, truncate the temp
table and your ready for your next load.

Can you have a before-insert trigger on your table to do whatever you want
and then use conventional sqlldr to load it?

Hi!
Is there a tool available that allows me to read data from a
comma-delimited
flat file into Oracle and if a row already exists, updates that record. If
the row does not exist, it should insert a new record into the table.
Looks to me like SQL*Loader can't do this.
How could this be done?
This is 8.1.6 on Win2k.
Thanks,
Helmut
