Varför får måltabellen för en MERGE-sats inte ha aktiverade regler?

• Regler är gamla funktioner i SQL Server.
• Denna funktion kommer att tas bort i en framtida version av Microsoft SQL Server. . Jag tror att detta är anledningen till att MERGE uttalandet stöder inte tabeller med regler.
• Du kan ersätta regler med kontrollbegränsningar .

MERGE exempel (med regler &med CHECK begränsningar):

CREATE RULE MyRule
AS 
@Status IN ('Y', 'N');
GO

CREATE TABLE dbo.SalesOrder
(
    SalesOrderID INT PRIMARY KEY
    ,OrderDate DATETIME NOT NULL
    ,IsDeleted CHAR(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'N'
);
GO

EXEC sp_bindrule @rulename='MyRule', @objname='dbo.SalesOrder.IsDeleted';
GO

INSERT  dbo.SalesOrder (SalesOrderID, OrderDate)
SELECT  1, '20110101'
UNION ALL
SELECT  2, '20110202'
UNION ALL
SELECT  3, '20110303';
GO

SELECT  *
FROM    dbo.SalesOrder;

PRINT '*****First test*****';
GO

MERGE   dbo.SalesOrder Dst
USING   (VALUES (1,'Y'), (4,'Y')) AS Src(SalesOrderID, IsDeleted) 
ON      Dst.SalesOrderID = Src.SalesOrderID
WHEN    MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET IsDeleted = Src.IsDeleted
WHEN    NOT MATCHED BY TARGET THEN INSERT (SalesOrderID, OrderDate, IsDeleted) VALUES (Src.SalesOrderID, GETDATE(), Src.IsDeleted);
GO

EXEC sp_unbindrule 'dbo.SalesOrder.IsDeleted'; --Disabling `MyRule` for IsDeleted column
ALTER TABLE dbo.SalesOrder --We "replace" the old rule with a new `CHECK` constraint
ADD CONSTRAINT CK_SalesOrder_IsDeleted CHECK( IsDeleted IN ('Y', 'N') );
GO

PRINT '*****Second test*****';
MERGE   dbo.SalesOrder Dst
USING   (VALUES (1,'Y'), (4,'Y')) AS Src(SalesOrderID, IsDeleted) 
ON      Dst.SalesOrderID = Src.SalesOrderID
WHEN    MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET IsDeleted = Src.IsDeleted
WHEN    NOT MATCHED BY TARGET THEN INSERT (SalesOrderID, OrderDate, IsDeleted) VALUES (Src.SalesOrderID, GETDATE(), Src.IsDeleted);
GO

SELECT  *
FROM    dbo.SalesOrder;

DROP TABLE dbo.SalesOrder;
DROP RULE MyRule;

Resultat:

Rule bound to table column.
