  1. Doc updates for MERGE

    Dean Rasheed <dean.a.rasheed@gmail.com> — 2023-02-24T06:08:38Z

    Attached is a patch fixing a few doc omissions for MERGE.

I don't think that it's necessary to update every place that could
possibly apply to MERGE, but there are a few places where we give a
list of commands that may be used in a particular context, and I think
those should mention MERGE, if it applies.

Also, there were a couple of other places where it seemed worth giving
slightly more detail about what happens for MERGE.

Regards,
Dean

Agreed.  Your patch looks good to me.

I was confused for a bit about arch-dev.sgml talking about ModifyTable
when perform.sgml talks about Insert/Update et al; I thought at first
that one or the other was in error, so I checked.  It turns out that
they are both correct, because arch-dev is talking about code-level
executor nodes while perform.sgml is talking about how it looks under
EXPLAIN.  So, it all looks good.

I assume you're proposing to back-patch this.
