MERGE BRANCH

Merge a (source) branch into the current branch that you are in by default, or into a target branch that you specify.

Syntax
MERGE BRANCH <source_branch_name>
  [ INTO <target_branch_name> ]
  [ IN <catalog_name> ]

Parameters​

<source_branch_name> String

The name of the branch that you want to merge into your target branch. If a target branch is not specified, the source branch is merged into the current branch you are in.

INTO <target_branch_name> String   Optional

The name of the branch that is the target for the merge. If you do not use this optional clause and the reference is a branch, the query will still run successfully. However, if the reference is not a branch, the query will fail because you can merge only branches.

IN <catalog_name> String   Optional

The name of the Arctic catalog. If not specified, the current Arctic catalog in the query context is used.

Examples​

Merge a branch you specify into the current reference branch
MERGE BRANCH myBranch
Merge a branch you specify into another branch in the specified catalog
MERGE BRANCH myBranch
  INTO main
  IN myCatalog
