I have a main
database and a report
database, and I need to sync a table from main
into report
.
However, when an item
MERGE INTO target
USING
(
--Source data
SELECT id, some_value, 0 deleteMe FROM source
--And anything that has been deleted from the source
UNION ALL
SELECT id, null some_value, 1 deleteMe
FROM
(
SELECT id FROM target
MINUS
SELECT id FROM source
)
) source
ON (target.ID = source.ID)
WHEN MATCHED THEN
--Requires a lot of ugly CASE statements, to prevent updating deleted data
UPDATE SET target.some_value =
CASE WHEN deleteMe=1 THEN target.some_value ELSE source.some_value end
,isDeleted = deleteMe
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
INSERT (id, some_value, isDeleted) VALUES (source.id, source.some_value, 0)
--Test data
create table target as
select 1 ID, 'old value 1' some_value, 0 isDeleted from dual union all
select 2 ID, 'old value 2' some_value, 0 isDeleted from dual;
create table source as
select 1 ID, 'new value 1' some_value, 0 isDeleted from dual union all
select 3 ID, 'new value 3' some_value, 0 isDeleted from dual;
--Results:
select * from target;
ID SOME_VALUE ISDELETED
1 new value 1 0
2 old value 2 1
3 new value 3 0
