• Key Concepts: 
  Memory-only merge is a feature of SAP HANA that allows for the merging of data from multiple sources into a single memory-based table. This feature enables the user to quickly and easily combine data from different sources into one table, without having to write complex SQL queries. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use memory-only merge, the user must first create a memory-based table in SAP HANA. This table can be created using the CREATE TABLE statement. Once the table is created, the user can then use the MERGE statement to combine data from multiple sources into the memory-based table. The MERGE statement allows the user to specify which columns from each source should be included in the merged table. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using memory-only merge, it is important to ensure that all of the data sources being merged have compatible data types. If incompatible data types are used, then errors may occur when attempting to merge the data. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all of the columns being merged have compatible names and formats.
