Optimizing MERGE Statements: The Role of Temporary Tables in SQL Server Performance
Understanding the Mysterious Case of SELECT into Temp Table vs MERGE Performance =========================================================== As a technical blogger, I recently came across a puzzling Stack Overflow question regarding the performance difference between using a table-valued function (TVF) directly in a MERGE statement versus storing its results in a temporary table and then using that temp table in the MERGE statement. The question sought to understand why it seemed that the first approach, although seemingly less efficient due to the extra step of writing data to a table, resulted in a faster execution time compared to directly using the TVF in the MERGE query.
