Load data from a unformated flat file to oracle (use xml approach).

I have a flat file with records like

Header
123 James Williams Finance2000
124 Pete Pete HR 1500
125 PatrickHeather Engg 3000
Footer

The structure is:
Eno:4 characters
Name:8 characters
Surname : 9 characters
Dept:7 characters
Sal:4characters

These are sample records.Need to load a large data of this format onto Table1.Read somewhere that i can create a XML and and then load it via sqlloader.
Also one important here is I need to load Name,Surname and Dept also in Table2.
means some field might go onto 1 table and the others into other.

Can any one point me in right direction.
Thanks

You can load via the SQL loader, no need to go for the creation of XML and all . Google it i hope there are so many links on "how to load data into oracle using sqlldr".
