Class MatchedThenableMergeQueryBuilder<DB, TT, ST, UT, O>

Performs the delete action.

To perform the do nothing action, see thenDoNothing.

To perform the update action, see thenUpdate or thenUpdateSet.

Examples

const result = await db.mergeInto('person')
  .using('pet', 'person.id', 'pet.owner_id')
  .whenMatched()
  .thenDelete()
  .execute()
Copy

The generated SQL (PostgreSQL):

merge into "person"
using "pet" on "person"."id" = "pet"."owner_id"
when matched then
  delete
Copy

Performs the do nothing action.

This is supported in PostgreSQL.

To perform the delete action, see thenDelete.

To perform the update action, see thenUpdate or thenUpdateSet.

Examples

const result = await db.mergeInto('person')
  .using('pet', 'person.id', 'pet.owner_id')
  .whenMatched()
  .thenDoNothing()
  .execute()
Copy

The generated SQL (PostgreSQL):

merge into "person"
using "pet" on "person"."id" = "pet"."owner_id"
when matched then
  do nothing
Copy

Perform an update operation with a full-fledged UpdateQueryBuilder. This is handy when multiple set invocations are needed.

For a shorthand version of this method, see thenUpdateSet.

To perform the delete action, see thenDelete.

To perform the do nothing action, see thenDoNothing.

Examples

import { sql } from 'kysely'

const result = await db.mergeInto('person')
  .using('pet', 'person.id', 'pet.owner_id')
  .whenMatched()
  .thenUpdate((ub) => ub
    .set(sql`metadata['has_pets']`, 'Y')
    .set({
      updated_at: Date.now(),
    })
  )
  .execute()
Copy

The generated SQL (PostgreSQL):

merge into "person"
using "pet" on "person"."id" = "pet"."owner_id"
when matched then
  update set metadata['has_pets'] = $1, "updated_at" = $2
Copy

Performs an update set action, similar to UpdateQueryBuilder.set.

For a full-fledged update query builder, see thenUpdate.

To perform the delete action, see thenDelete.

To perform the do nothing action, see thenDoNothing.

Examples

const result = await db.mergeInto('person')
  .using('pet', 'person.id', 'pet.owner_id')
  .whenMatched()
  .thenUpdateSet({
    middle_name: 'dog owner',
  })
  .execute()
Copy

The generate SQL (PostgreSQL):

merge into "person"
using "pet" on "person"."id" = "pet"."owner_id"
when matched then
  update set "middle_name" = $1
Copy
