>             Project: Derby
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: SQL

> I'm trying to utilize MERGE to do an upsert operation like this:
> MERGE INTO "APP"."ST_KEY_VAL" trg USING (SELECT * FROM (VALUES ('key1', 'val1')) as t1 (st_key, st_val)) as src
> ON trg.st_key = src.st_key
> WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET st_val = src.st_val
> WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT VALUES (src.st_key, src.st_val)
> ;
> Derby returns an error:
> Error: The source table of a MERGE statement must be a base table or table function.
> SQLState:  42XAL
> ErrorCode: 30000
> MERGE is used this way on other databases, unfortunately I can't find whether it is standard compliant or not. If this gets implemented, I would use it in PreparedStatement, replacing values with "?"-s.
