How do I insert/update certain records that I've identified in cursors..?

Question

Morning gurus..
As the title asks, I have this script that loads records into a temp table then compares these with whats in the ORACLE table. When each temp table record has been identified as being either needing to be inserted or not, how do I then insert these identified records? As in, how can I do..
INSERT INTO xxxxxxxxxxx_SUPPLIERS (vendor_id, vendor_name,segment1, end_date_active) VALUES (2, 'SUPPLIER NAME 2', 100002, sysdate); ..but I'll need to put in some variable names where the values have been written in above - is this allowed..?
thanks,
E

hi,
here is a small sample for your query.... given Procedure InsertExcep is reading data from table code_master and inserting all fetched records into another table test_code_master..... before insert you can do any comparison within loop..... or even can give any Update statement....
CREATE TABLE code_master
CODE VARCHAR2(10),
CODE_DESC VARCHAR2(70)
INSERT INTO CODE_MASTER ( CODE, CODE_DESC ) VALUES (
'ORG0007', 'PARTNERSHIP FIRM');
INSERT INTO CODE_MASTER ( CODE, CODE_DESC ) VALUES (
'ORG0008', 'CONSULTANCY FIRM OR PROFESSIONAL BODY');
INSERT INTO CODE_MASTER ( CODE, CODE_DESC ) VALUES (
'ORG0009', 'SOCIAL ORGANIZATION');
INSERT INTO CODE_MASTER ( CODE, CODE_DESC ) VALUES (
'ORG0010', 'EMBASSY');
CREATE TABLE test_code_master
CODE VARCHAR2(10),
CODE_DESC VARCHAR2(70)
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE InsertExcep
AS
CURSOR insertdata
IS
SELECT code,code_desc
FROM code_master ;
BEGIN
     FOR i IN insertdata
     LOOP
               BEGIN
               INSERT INTO test_code_master (code,code_desc)
               VALUES(i.code,i.code_desc);
               EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN
               DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ( 'Error during Insert code - '||i.code );
               END;
     END LOOP;
EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ( 'Error in InsertExcep' );
END;
hope this will work...
Thanx
