Oracle9i引入了MERGE命令,你能够在一个SQL语句中对一个表同时执行inserts和updates操作. MERGE命令从一个或多个数据源中选择行来updating或inserting到一个或多个表.在Oracle10g中MERGE有如下一些改进:
1、UPDATE或INSERT子句是可选的
2、UPDATE和INSERT子句可以加WHERE子句
3、在ON条件中使用常量过滤谓词来insert所有的行到目标表中,不需要连接源表和目标表
4、UPDATE子句后面可以跟DELETE子句来去除一些不需要的行
语法:
MERGEHINTINTO SCHEMA .TABLE T_ALIAS
USINGSCHEMA . {TABLE | VIEW |SUBQUERY } T_ALIAS
ON (CONDITION)
WHENMATCHEDTHEN MERGE_UPDATE_CLAUSE
WHENNOTMATCHED THEN MERGE_INSERT_CLAUSE / MERGE_DELETE_CLAUSE;
联想:
merge into是特有的功能,相当于在 MSSQL中的
ifexists(...)
updatetable
else
Insertinto table.
mergeinto语法不仅没有if exists语法啰嗦,而且比if exists还要高效很多,常用来在oracle之间同步数据库表。
例子:
1、创建测试表及数据
DROP TABLE PRODUCTS; DROP TABLE NEWPRODUCTS; create table PRODUCTS ( PRODUCT_ID INTEGER, PRODUCT_NAME VARCHAR2(60), CATEGORY VARCHAR2(60) ); insert into PRODUCTS values (1501, 'VIVITAR 35MM', 'ELECTRNCS'); insert into PRODUCTS values (1502, 'OLYMPUS IS50', 'ELECTRNCS'); insert into PRODUCTS values (1600, 'PLAY GYM', 'TOYS'); insert into PRODUCTS values (1601, 'LAMAZE', 'TOYS'); insert into PRODUCTS values (1666, 'HARRY POTTER', 'DVD'); commit; create table NEWPRODUCTS ( PRODUCT_ID INTEGER, PRODUCT_NAME VARCHAR2(60), CATEGORY VARCHAR2(60) ); insert into NEWPRODUCTS values (1502, 'OLYMPUS CAMERA', 'ELECTRNCS'); insert into NEWPRODUCTS values (1601, 'LAMAZE', 'TOYS'); insert into NEWPRODUCTS values (1666, 'HARRY POTTER', 'TOYS'); insert into NEWPRODUCTS values (1700, 'WAIT INTERFACE', 'BOOKS'); commit;
2、匹配更新
MERGE INTO PRODUCTS P USING NEWPRODUCTS NP ON (P.PRODUCT_ID = NP.PRODUCT_ID) WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET P.PRODUCT_NAME = NP.PRODUCT_NAME, P.CATEGORY = NP.CATEGORY; SELECT * FROM PRODUCTS; SELECT * FROM NEWPRODUCTS;
3、不匹配插入
MERGE INTO PRODUCTS P USING NEWPRODUCTS NP ON (P.PRODUCT_ID = NP.PRODUCT_ID) WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT (PRODUCT_ID ,PRODUCT_NAME ,CATEGORY) VALUES (NP.PRODUCT_ID ,NP.PRODUCT_NAME ,NP.CATEGORY); SELECT * FROM PRODUCTS; SELECT * FROM NEWPRODUCTS;
4、匹配带where/on更新
MERGE INTO PRODUCTS P USING NEWPRODUCTS NP ON (P.PRODUCT_ID = NP.PRODUCT_ID) WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET P.PRODUCT_NAME = NP.PRODUCT_NAME WHERE P.CATEGORY = NP.CATEGORY; MERGE INTO PRODUCTS P USING NEWPRODUCTS NP ON (P.PRODUCT_ID = NP.PRODUCT_ID AND P.CATEGORY = NP.CATEGORY) WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET P.PRODUCT_NAME = NP.PRODUCT_NAME; SELECT * FROM PRODUCTS; SELECT * FROM NEWPRODUCTS; SELECT * FROM PRODUCTS A INNER JOIN NEWPRODUCTS B ON A.PRODUCT_ID = B.PRODUCT_ID AND A.CATEGORY = B.CATEGORY;
5、匹配带where更新、插入
MERGE INTO PRODUCTS P USING NEWPRODUCTS NP ON (P.PRODUCT_ID = NP.PRODUCT_ID) WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET P.PRODUCT_NAME = NP.PRODUCT_NAME, P.CATEGORY = NP.CATEGORY WHERE P.CATEGORY = 'DVD' WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT (PRODUCT_ID ,PRODUCT_NAME ,CATEGORY) VALUES (NP.PRODUCT_ID ,NP.PRODUCT_NAME ,NP.CATEGORY) WHERE NP.CATEGORY != 'BOOKS'; SELECT * FROM PRODUCTS; SELECT * FROM NEWPRODUCTS;
6、ON常量表达式
MERGE INTO PRODUCTS P USING NEWPRODUCTS NP ON (1 = 0) WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT (PRODUCT_ID ,PRODUCT_NAME ,CATEGORY) VALUES (NP.PRODUCT_ID ,NP.PRODUCT_NAME ,NP.CATEGORY) WHERE NP.CATEGORY = 'BOOKS'; SELECT * FROM PRODUCTS; SELECT * FROM NEWPRODUCTS;
7、匹配删除、不匹配插入
MERGE INTO PRODUCTS P USING NEWPRODUCTS NP ON (P.PRODUCT_ID = NP.PRODUCT_ID) WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET P.PRODUCT_NAME = NP.PRODUCT_NAME, P.CATEGORY = NP.CATEGORY DELETE WHERE (P.CATEGORY = 'ELECTRNCS') WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT (PRODUCT_ID ,PRODUCT_NAME ,CATEGORY) VALUES (NP.PRODUCT_ID ,NP.PRODUCT_NAME ,NP.CATEGORY); SELECT * FROM PRODUCTS; SELECT * FROM NEWPRODUCTS;
8、源表为子查询(自联接)
MERGE INTO PRODUCTS P USING (SELECT COUNT(*) CO FROM PRODUCTS WHERE PRODUCTS.PRODUCT_ID = 1501) B ON (B.CO <> 0) WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET P.PRODUCT_NAME = 'KEBO' WHERE P.PRODUCT_ID = 1501 WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT (PRODUCT_ID ,PRODUCT_NAME ,CATEGORY) VALUES (1501 ,'KEBO' ,'NBA'); MERGE INTO PRODUCTS P USING (SELECT COUNT(*) CO FROM PRODUCTS WHERE PRODUCTS.PRODUCT_ID = 1508) B ON (B.CO <> 0) WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET P.PRODUCT_NAME = 'KEBO' WHERE P.PRODUCT_ID = 1508 WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT (PRODUCT_ID ,PRODUCT_NAME ,CATEGORY) VALUES (1508 ,'KEBO' ,'NBA'); SELECT * FROM PRODUCTS;
优点:
—避免了分开更新
—提高性能并易于使用
—在数据仓库应用中十分有用
—使用merge比传统的先判断再选择插入或更新快很多
需要注意的地方:
1、从语法条件上看(ON (join condition)),merge into也是一个危险的语法。如果不慎重使用,会将源表全部覆盖到目标表,既危险又浪费效率,违背了增量同步的原则。所以在设计表结构时,一般每条记录都有“更新时间”的字段,用目标表“最大更新时间”判断源表数据是否有更新和新增的信息。
2、更新的字段,不允许有关联条件的字段(join condition)。比如条件是 A.ID=B.ID,那么使用“SET A.ID=B.ID”将报出一个莫名其妙的提示错误。
缺少一个带delete语句选项的示例,暂为补上:
MERGE INTO PRODUCTS P USING NEWPRODUCTS NP ON (P.PRODUCT_ID = NP.PRODUCT_ID) WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET P.PRODUCT_NAME = NP.PRODUCT_NAME, P.CATEGORY = NP.CATEGORY --WHERE (P.CATEGORY = 'ELECTRNCS') DELETE WHERE (P.CATEGORY = 'ELECTRNCS') WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT (PRODUCT_ID, PRODUCT_NAME, CATEGORY) VALUES (NP.PRODUCT_ID, NP.PRODUCT_NAME, NP.CATEGORY); SELECT * FROM PRODUCTS; SELECT * FROM NEWPRODUCTS;
说明:DELETE语句删除的是满足matched关联on条件,同时也要是update更新内容的子集,否则不会删除任何内容。
