How to repeat:
Try to use the MERGE command

I would just like to say that I would like to see this as well.  This was reported four years ago, can we have it added?

Is there any intention on implementing this? Conformity to the ANSI standard seems like a worthy goal.

It would be really worthwhile to have this.
