SQL*Loader can recognize record types, and can direct data
from the different types of records to different tables.
Retaining data from a type 1 record, and combining it with a
type 3 record, especially multiple type 3 records, is beyond
what SQL*Loader can do. At least, I can't conceive of a way
to do it as I think about it right now.
