Nov 14, 2016 at 18:39 comment added Magier Thanks for this helpful input it's new to me. However since those statements are easy and fast for smaller (<100K rows) tables and I havea generic script to generate any kind of merge statement with different options I just love them. I could improve the performance a lot by using a ROWVERSION to compare the requirement to make UPDATES instead of OR-ing all column contens between source and target table because I have rowversion in almost every table. The two larger table ~10 Mio rows are still a problem maybe I will change the procedure for those two...
