Answer 1

You will have to use the inbuilt tool sql*loader to load data from external flat files into oracle.
1. create a control file control.ctl

  load data
  infile 'reports.csv' 
  into table emp
  fields terminated by ',' optionally
  enclosed by '"'
  c1,c2

2. data file is your reports.csv

3.invoke sql*loader: $ sqlldr scott/tiger control=control.ctl
Note: this is the name of the control file that you have made
