- doc-merge-only.patch (text/x-patch) patch
While testing MERGE, I noticed that it supports inheritance hierarchies and the ONLY keyword, but that isn't documented. Attached is a patch to merge.sgml, borrowing text from update.sgml and delete.sgml. I note that there are also a couple of places early in the manual (advanced.sgml and ddl.sgml) that also discuss inheritance, citing SELECT, UPDATE and DELETE as examples of (already-discussed) commands that support ONLY. However, since MERGE isn't mentioned until much later in the manual, it's probably best to leave those as-is. They don't claim to be complete lists of commands supporting ONLY, and it would be a pain to make them that. Regards, Dean
