Use SQL*Loader to load it into a table or use external tables. See this thread: http://forums.devshed.com/t267200/s.html

You have two options:
  • import the data into existing tables (SQL*Loader approach). Each time you receive a new file, you need to import it. If this is a "one time conversion" then this is what you should do.
  • Use the text files directly with "external tables". If you receive the files regularly and do not need to update the data, then this might be an option for you. Oracle will pick up the contents of those files automatically.
The mentioned thread mainly discusses external tables.

But there is no way around reading the manuals. All Oracle manuals are available online (free registration).
If you have specific questions afterwards, then post them here.

Thomas is right.

You need to devote some time to learning your tools.

TOAD can import as you asked, and PL/SQL scripts can be written to validate the data. Either method will require you to master a few fundamental data manipulation skills.
