What is the need for MERGE statement SQL ?

Comment

The MERGE statement in SQL can be used to perform operations like INSERT, DELETE, and UPDATE, all within the same SQL query. In simple terms, the MERGE statement combines the separate INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements into a single SQL query.
