Thanks for confirming.
I also noticed the following part of the comment at the beginning of
`ExecMerge()`:
...
If the target tuple gets deleted or a concurrent update causes the join
quals to fail, it returns a matched status of false and we call
ExecMergeNotMatched().
...
With this change, perhaps this part of the comment should also be
adjusted to distinguish an original `WHEN MATCHED` case from an
original `WHEN NOT MATCHED BY SOURCE` case.
For the former, a concurrent delete leaves the source tuple to be
processed by `WHEN NOT MATCHED [BY TARGET]` actions, whereas for the
latter, neither a source tuple nor a target tuple remains, so there is
no further action to execute.
Do you think it's worth updating this comment as part of the patch?
