David, You're talking about Partitioned Views, which was the predecessor of partitioned tables. This was the drawback of partitioned views - you had to insert into the individual tables. You can make a sql*loader script figure out which table to insert into (if you're using sql*loader). Otherwise you might what to try writing a procedure. If you have any problems with partitioned views, expect Oracle Support to tell that you should be using partitioned tables.
