Load Oracle tables and switch public synonym

I need some help from Oracle and UNIX expertise point of view.

I have two tables, METADATA_A and METADATA_B. I need to switch loading these tables. If we load METADATA_A today, the following
week we would have to load METADATA_B.

There is a public synonym "METADATA" that sits on top of these two tables.

1) Find out which table is in use right now..

Code:
SELECT * 
FROM ALL_SYNONYMS 
WHERE SYNONYM_NAME = "METADATA"

2) Truncate opposite table

3) Load opposite table

4) Validate by doing a count * on the table to check the rows loaded.

5) Finally, switch synonym

Can this be achieved using shell script? Please advice.

NAME
DELETE - delete rows of a table SYNOPSIS
DELETE FROM [ ONLY ] table [ [ AS ] alias ] [ USING usinglist ] [ WHERE condition | WHERE CURRENT OF cursor_name ] [ RETURNING * | output_expression [ [ AS ] output_name ] [, ...] ] DESCRIPTION
DELETE deletes rows that satisfy the WHERE clause from the specified table. If the WHERE clause is absent, the effect is to delete all rows in the table. The result is a valid, but empty table. Tip: TRUNCATE [truncate(7)] is a PostgreSQL extension that provides a faster mechanism to remove all rows from a table. By default, DELETE will delete rows in the specified table and all its child tables. If you wish to delete only from the specific table mentioned, you must use the ONLY clause. There are two ways to delete rows in a table using information contained in other tables in the database: using sub-selects, or specifying additional tables in the USING clause. Which technique is more appropriate depends on the specific circumstances. The optional RETURNING clause causes DELETE to compute and return value(s) based on each row actually deleted. Any expression using the table's columns, and/or columns of other tables mentioned in USING, can be computed. The syntax of the RETURNING list is identical to that of the output list of SELECT. You must have the DELETE privilege on the table to delete from it, as well as the SELECT privilege for any table in the USING clause or whose values are read in the condition. PARAMETERS
ONLY If specified, delete rows from the named table only. When not specified, any tables inheriting from the named table are also pro- cessed. table The name (optionally schema-qualified) of an existing table. alias A substitute name for the target table. When an alias is provided, it completely hides the actual name of the table. For example, given DELETE FROM foo AS f, the remainder of the DELETE statement must refer to this table as f not foo. usinglist A list of table expressions, allowing columns from other tables to appear in the WHERE condition. This is similar to the list of tables that can be specified in the FROM Clause [select(7)] of a SELECT statement; for example, an alias for the table name can be specified. Do not repeat the target table in the usinglist, unless you wish to set up a self-join. condition An expression that returns a value of type boolean. Only rows for which this expression returns true will be deleted. cursor_name The name of the cursor to use in a WHERE CURRENT OF condition. The row to be deleted is the one most recently fetched from this cur- sor. The cursor must be a non-grouping query on the DELETE's target table. Note that WHERE CURRENT OF cannot be specified together with a Boolean condition. See DECLARE [declare(7)] for more information about using cursors with WHERE CURRENT OF. output_expression An expression to be computed and returned by the DELETE command after each row is deleted. The expression can use any column names of the table or table(s) listed in USING. Write * to return all columns. output_name A name to use for a returned column. OUTPUTS
On successful completion, a DELETE command returns a command tag of the form DELETE count The count is the number of rows deleted. If count is 0, no rows matched the condition (this is not considered an error). If the DELETE command contains a RETURNING clause, the result will be similar to that of a SELECT statement containing the columns and val- ues defined in the RETURNING list, computed over the row(s) deleted by the command. NOTES
PostgreSQL lets you reference columns of other tables in the WHERE condition by specifying the other tables in the USING clause. For exam- ple, to delete all films produced by a given producer, one can do: DELETE FROM films USING producers WHERE producer_id = producers.id AND producers.name = 'foo'; What is essentially happening here is a join between films and producers, with all successfully joined films rows being marked for dele- tion. This syntax is not standard. A more standard way to do it is: DELETE FROM films WHERE producer_id IN (SELECT id FROM producers WHERE name = 'foo'); In some cases the join style is easier to write or faster to execute than the sub-select style. EXAMPLES
Delete all films but musicals: DELETE FROM films WHERE kind <> 'Musical'; Clear the table films: DELETE FROM films; Delete completed tasks, returning full details of the deleted rows: DELETE FROM tasks WHERE status = 'DONE' RETURNING *; Delete the row of tasks on which the cursor c_tasks is currently positioned: DELETE FROM tasks WHERE CURRENT OF c_tasks; COMPATIBILITY
This command conforms to the SQL standard, except that the USING and RETURNING clauses are PostgreSQL extensions. SQL - Language Statements 2010-05-14 DELETE(7)
