How do you populate the fields for the Opportunity?  Are you using some default values?

Under what circumstances, do you want to create the Opportunity?  For every account that is created, even in the browser?

 what i did till now is i have created process to insert the account csv file, and am using command line interface to run this,
also  i wanted to insert the opportunity records as csv  for the above newly created account,

can we run these two steps in single bat file which means batch process bulk loading.

The problem is that you would not have the IDs of the newly inserted accounts.  It is probably best to do this with a trigger, or maybe a batch apex job.

Can we try to do with external id? for trigger means where we can  call the task files?

pls help to write trigger.

External Id could work.

What do you mean by "task files"?

Have you written any triggers before?  Or, what specifically do you need help with?

[Suganthi G]

csv file only,

i ve never written trigger.

That is the guide to help you write a trigger.  There are lots of examples there.
