With Merge statement  we can merge the data from Souce table into Target table. Synatx: MERGE INTO <Target Table > AS TRG USING <Souce Table> As SRC ON <Merge Conidtion> WHEN MATCHED [AND Condition] THEN <Action> WHEN NOT MATCHED [BY TARGET ] [AND Condition] THEN <Action> WHEN NOT MATCHED BY SOURCE [AND CONIDTION] THEN <Action. MERGE INTO <Target Table>: This cluase define the  Target table for the  operation. USING <Source Table>: This clause define the Source table for the opearation. In Source Table we can use Table ,CTE,Dervied Table,Some Other Database Table,OPENROWSET, XQUERY. ON<Merge Condition>: This is just like as ON Clause like in Joins. This Statement defines the Both Souce table and Target table Matched or NotMatched. WHEN MATCHED [AND Condition]  THEN <ACTION>: This clause defines the When Both Souce Table and Target Table Matched based on key .Here [AND C...
