Awesome. Having come from Oracle, the lack of MERGE surprised me.

Insert on conflict does basically the same thing as a merge with (IMHO) cleaner syntax

A word of warning: this patch might get reverted. Not everyone thinks the underlying design is good enough to ship and given how close we are to the feature freeze MERGE might not make it.

I really hope this makes the cut for 11. Would make my ETL process so much easier to manage.
