UnsupportedOperationException: Cannot perform Merge as multiple source rows matched and attempted to modify the same

Prashant777

My Code:--

CREATE OR REPLACE TEMPORARY VIEW preprocessed_source AS

SELECT

  Key_ID,

  Distributor_ID,

  Customer_ID,

  Customer_Name,

  Channel

FROM integr_masterdata.Customer_Master;

-- Step 2: Perform the merge operation using the preprocessed source table

MERGE INTO slvr_masterdata.Customer_Master as Target

USING preprocessed_source AS Source

ON

Source.Key_ID = Target.Key_ID

WHEN MATCHED THEN

UPDATE SET

Target.Distributor_ID = Source.Distributor_ID,

Target.Customer_ID = Source.Customer_ID,

Target.Customer_Name = Source.Customer_Name,

Target.Channel = Source.Channel,

Target.Time_Stamp = current_timestamp()

WHEN NOT MATCHED

  THEN INSERT

  (

  Distributor_ID,

  Customer_ID,

  Customer_Name,

  Channel,

  Time_Stamp

  )

  VALUES (

  Source.Distributor_ID,

  Source.Customer_ID,

  Source.Customer_Name,

  Source.Channel,

  current_timestamp()

)

Since you're doing merge based on Source.Key_ID = Target.Key_ID, you need to ensure that Key_ID is unique in your source table. Otherwise it will throw an error as it cannot determine which row it should update.
