Hi, Merge can performs insert, update, or delete operations on a target table based on the results of a join with a source table. For example, you can synchronize two tables by inserting, updating, or deleting rows in one table based on differences found in the other table.

Is anyone familiar with the performance to use "Merge" versus the traditional logic to check existence and decide the update or insert then?

Thanks!
