FLÉT tabel, gør ingenting, når det matches

I dit tilfælde behøver du ikke bruge delen:

WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE ...

( ved at bruge WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET a.id = a.id er accepteret (Oracle kaster ikke), men har ingen indflydelse, så en sådan brug er overflødig, fordi du ikke ønsker at ændre noget for den matchende sag. )

Fortsæt med følgende for den aktuelle sag:

SQL> CREATE TABLE domains( 
                           id          INT, 
                           name        VARCHAR2(50), 
                           code        VARCHAR2(50), 
                           description VARCHAR2(50)
                         );

SQL> INSERT INTO domains VALUES(1,'Domain A','D.A.','This is Domain A');

SQL> MERGE INTO domains A USING 
     (SELECT 2 id, 'Domain A' name, 'D.A.' code, 'This is Domain A' description 
        FROM domains) b
          ON ( a.name = b.name )
        WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT( a.id, a.name, a.code, a.description ) 
                              VALUES( b.id, b.name, b.code, b.description );

SQL> SELECT * FROM domains;

ID  NAME        CODE    DESCRIPTION
--  --------   -----  ----------------
1   Domain A    D.A.  This is Domain A

SQL> DELETE domains;

SQL> INSERT INTO domains VALUES(1,'Domain A','D.A.','This is Domain A');
-- we're deleting and inserting the same row again

SQL> MERGE INTO domains A USING       
 (SELECT 2 id, 'Domain B' name, 'D.B.' code, 'This is Domain B' description 
    FROM domains) b
      ON ( a.name = b.name )
    WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT( a.id, a.name, a.code, a.description ) 
                          VALUES( b.id, b.name, b.code, b.description );


SQL> SELECT * FROM domains;

ID  NAME        CODE    DESCRIPTION
--  --------   -----  ----------------
1   Domain A    D.A.  This is Domain A
2   Domain B    D.B.  This is Domain B
