+   that would otherwise require multiple procedural language statements.
+  </para>
+
+  <para>
+   First, the <command>MERGE</command> command performs a join
+   from <replaceable class="parameter">data_source</replaceable> to
+   <replaceable class="parameter">target_table_name</replaceable>
+   producing zero or more candidate change rows.  For each candidate change
+   row the status of <literal>MATCHED</literal> or <literal>NOT MATCHED</literal> is set
+   just once, after which <literal>WHEN</literal> clauses are evaluated
+   in the order specified. If one of them is activated, the specified
+   action occurs. No more than one <literal>WHEN</literal> clause can be
+   activated for any candidate change row.  
+  </para>
+
+  <para>
+   <command>MERGE</command> actions have the same effect as
+   regular <command>UPDATE</command>, <command>INSERT</command>, or
+   <command>DELETE</command> commands of the same names. The syntax of
+   those commands is different, notably that there is no <literal>WHERE</literal>
+   clause and no tablename is specified.  All actions refer to the
+   <replaceable class="parameter">target_table_name</replaceable>,
+   though modifications to other tables may be made using triggers.
+  </para>
+
+  <para>
+   When <literal>DO NOTHING</literal> action is specified, the source row is
+   skipped. Since actions are evaluated in the given order, <literal>DO
+   NOTHING</literal> can be handy to skip non-interesting source rows before
+   more fine-grained handling.

+   There is no MERGE privilege.  
+   You must have the <literal>UPDATE</literal> privilege on the column(s)
+   of the <replaceable class="parameter">target_table_name</replaceable>

+   if you specify an update action, the <literal>INSERT</literal> privilege

+   during the subsequent execution.

+   In summary, statement triggers for an event type (say, INSERT) will
+   be fired whenever we <emphasis>specify</emphasis> an action of that kind. Row-level

+   So a <command>MERGE</command> might fire statement triggers for both

+
+  <para>
+   You should ensure that the join produces at most one candidate change row
+   for each target row.  In other words, a target row shouldn't join to more
+   than one data source row.  If it does, then only one of the candidate change
+   rows will be used to modify the target row, later attempts to modify will
+   cause an error.  This can also occur if row triggers make changes to the
+   target table which are then subsequently modified by <command>MERGE</command>.
+   If the repeated action is an <command>INSERT</command> this will
+   cause a uniqueness violation while a repeated <command>UPDATE</command> or
+   <command>DELETE</command> will cause a cardinality violation; the latter behavior
+   is required by the <acronym>SQL</acronym> Standard. This differs from
+   historical <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> behavior of joins in
+   <command>UPDATE</command> and <command>DELETE</command> statements where second and

+   If a <literal>WHEN</literal> clause omits an <literal>AND</literal> clause it becomes
+   the final reachable clause of that kind (<literal>MATCHED</literal> or

+   is specified it would be provably unreachable and an error is raised.
