Hi folks,
In sql server 2008:
Does using a MERGE statement have an effect on the transaction Log Size. I have around 55000 rows in the source table these either get inserted or updated in the target table.

Thank you
Ram

All data modifications (inserts, updates, deletes) affect the transaction log.
