Hello list I am using Oracle  9.2.0.1.0 ,

Consider the merge command :

merge into <table1>
using........
on (column matching condition)
then
update set .........
when not matched then
insert values .......................;

Is there a restriction that the column specified in 'column matching
condition' cannot be placed in the 'update set' clause ?

The docs don't mention this, but I tried this out and I seem to be
experiencing this behaviour.
