T-SQL MERGE - figuring out what actions took

I need to know if the MERGE INSERT statement was executing. In my script, the insert is either 0 or 1 line.

Test code:

DECLARE @t table (C1 int, C2 int)
DECLARE @C1 INT, @C2 INT

set @c1 = 1
set @c2 = 1

MERGE       @t as tgt
USING       (SELECT @C1, @C2) AS src (C1, C2)
ON          (tgt.C1 = src.C1)
    WHEN MATCHED AND tgt.C2 != src.C2 THEN
        UPDATE SET tgt.C2 = src.C2
    WHEN NOT MATCHED BY TARGET THEN
        INSERT VALUES (src.C1, src. C2)
    OUTPUT deleted.*, $action, inserted.*;

SELECT inserted.*

The last line does not compile (unlike a trigger, there is no scope). I cannot access @action or output. In fact, I do not want any output metadata.

How can i do this?

You can EXIT to a table variable and then extract from it. Try the following:

DECLARE @t table (C1 int, C2 int)
DECLARE @C1 INT, @C2 INT
DECLARE @Output TABLE (DeletedC1 INT, DeletedC2 INT, ActionType VARCHAR(20), InsertedC1 INT, InsertedC2 INT)

set @c1 = 1
set @c2 = 1

MERGE       @t as tgt
USING       (SELECT @C1, @C2) AS src (C1, C2)
ON          (tgt.C1 = src.C1)
    WHEN MATCHED AND tgt.C2 != src.C2 THEN
        UPDATE SET tgt.C2 = src.C2
    WHEN NOT MATCHED BY TARGET THEN
        INSERT VALUES (src.C1, src. C2)
    OUTPUT deleted.*, $action, inserted.* INTO @Output;

SELECT * FROM @Output WHERE ActionType = 'INSERT'

I think the only way to get the inserted rows is to use a trigger AFTER INSERTin the target table.

MERGE , , MERGE. AFTER INSERT .
