Hi SpaceCowboy, Oracle has a great feature, called global temporary table. For details see https://www.oracletutorial.com/oracle-basics/oracle-global-temporary-table/. You can create your temporary table(s) only once, they will be there for good. These tables can be populated with `INSERT INTO SELECT` statements (see https://www.oracletutorial.com/oracle-basics/oracle-insert-into-select/) in the beginning of the transaction. Then they can be modified by `UPDATE` and/or `MERGE` (see https://www.oracletutorial.com/oracle-basics/oracle-merge/). When data looks okay in the global temp table, it can be written into its final location by `INSERT` or `MERGE`. Simple and straightforward. Based on these features you probably can put together single perl script using module `DBI (DBD::Oracle)` and all the steps can be done with only a few `$dbh->do(sqlstatement)`. Regards	[reply]
