Question
Ok this is what i'm suppose to do.I have to import files in excel and text file into the oracle database. I have to migrate all these datas from the old database to the new database. I need to do the cheking on any duplication data,validation on identical attributes and data types to ensure whatever i migrate must be accurate. Besides that, i need to change a few data before importing it to the new database. So does anyone has any idea how to start this..thank you...

Thumbs up
You do not need to import it into text or excell sheets first.
If you are upgrading your Oracle version so do this normally using "Oracle Upgrade Assistant" called OUA too.
If migrating from other DBMSs to Oracle you can use Oracle migration workbench but I do not recommand it at all perosnally.
Mail me for other information if you need to know about other tools. MyEmail

You need to become familiar with sqlldr, which has many powerful features, including being able to execute a pl/sql procedure you could use to scrub the data "on-the-fly".

Also, become familiar with delimited text files. These text files are pretty much the universal conversion format. Every application that I can think of can export/import text files.

To become really proficient with text manipulation, look into UNIX scripts.
