How to UPSERT (INSERT or UPDATE) rows with MERGE in Oracle Database

Often when loading data you want to add new rows and change the existing ones. So you need "update if exists, insert if not exists" logic, aka UPSERT. This can lead to complex statements and conditional logic. The MERGE statement enables you to do both actions in one SQL statement. This session covered the details of how this works.
