-- Use the MERGE statement to merge the MoreGoodRows table
-- into the Merge2Here table using the first column as
-- a join column.

-- If there was a match, you should replace the third column
-- value of MoreGoodRows with the second column of the Merge2Here table.

-- On the other hand, if there was no match, just insert the
-- first two columns of data into the Merge2Here table.
