Rick Hillegas updated DERBY-3155:
---------------------------------
Attachment: MergeStatement.html
Attaching a second rev of the functional spec, incorporating feedback from Kim
and Knut. This fixes typos and adds THENs to the example MERGE statements.
Thanks for the feedback, Kim and Knut.
> Support for SQL:2003 MERGE statement

> A relatively common piece of logic in a database application is to check for
> a row's existence and then either update or insert depending on its existence.
> SQL:2003 added a MERGE statement to perform this operation. It looks like
> this:
> MERGE INTO table_name USING table_name ON (condition)
> WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET column1 = value1 [, column2 = value2 ...]
> WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT column1 [, column2 ...] VALUES (value1 [,
> value2 ...])
> At the moment, the only workaround for this would be to write a stored
> procedure to do the same operation, or to implement the logic client-side.
