Veena Basavaraj commented on SQOOP-1810:
----------------------------------------

My assumption was "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merge_%28SQL%29"; is a standard 
and we can use that, when I said select and insert / update, that was bare 
bones semantic interpretation not a literal one:)

I looked at using merge and it seems  to be a standard statement supported  in 
some:
Database management systems Oracle Database, DB2, Teradata, EXASOL, CUBRID, MS 
SQL and Vectorwise support the standard syntax. Some also add non-standard SQL 
extensions. So if it is not worth these use cases, I can drop it too. Not a 
problem, since the user can use free form sql for such operations.
