I'm curious, what org_id do you put (manually) to the people? you must have some way to match it ( like, say, "I have an organization line, followed by lines for people in this organization" Because if you cannot match them by hand, the Db is not going to be of use. Knowing how you know the org for a people is crucial for a solution ( i.e., for the previous example I'll just add a synthetic org_code line to each one and do the to temp tables trick for a long file, or, just advance the sequence (if needed manually ( to reserve org_id )) and them do a perl one liner to augment the data ( but I've been perling since the 4.019 times, so this may not be as easy for others ).
