Hi gayathri, 'on' keyword is just for joining the merge to table and 'using' query. it is generally keycolumn=keycolumn
if you want additional conditions you may give it with update. when matched then update x=10 where yourcondition1 update y=12 where yourcondition2 i am not sure whether two updates will work. if it does'nt you may try giving when matched a second time and then giving the second update. in sqlserver we can give and condition with when matched when mathed and x=y then but that is not possible in oracle. update and delete works together but two updates? I have never tried. please share with us the results of these experiments. regards Gopa On Jan 21, 2011 11:24 AM, "gayathri Dev" <gd0...@gmail.com> wrote: Hi All, I want to have multiple ON condition and corresponding Update statements in Merge command. Is it possible? Eg: Merge into cust C using (select o1, o2, o3 from Order ) O on ( (C.c1 = O.o1 and C.c2 = O.o2) --- condition 1 OR (C.c1 = O.o1 and C.c2 = O.o2) --- condition 2 ) when matched then Update c1, c2 -- for condition1 match Update c3, c4 -- for condition2 match when not matched then Insert ; Or is there any other better way to do this? Appreciate if I can get a solution at the earliest. Thanks G -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Oracle PL/SQL" group.
