If you're talking about what I think you're talking about, then
basically you need to break up the MERGE into seperate insert/update
steps. You just have to write the queries such that if the record
doesn't exist, it gets inserted, and if it does exist, then it gets
updated. MERGE just allows you to do this in a nicer, somewhat more
efficient, way. If you've got alot of transactions happening around the
same time with the table in question then you may also have to write
your logic to be able to handle a rollback and to try again.
Enjoy,
