    Hi Everyone

    I have a merge statement which ends with the following

    WHEN NOT MATCHED BY SOURCE THEN

    DELETE;

    Now I need to record the deleted records in a table and I am having no luck getting the output to work. The records I need to record look like the following.

    OID (int)

    Version (int)

    QK varchar(32)

    GD varchar(32)

    Geometry (Geometry)

    and I would like to add a date column to record when the delete took place.

    What do you mean that you are not having any luck getting output to work? I don't see OUTPUT in your query here at all. You can reference the deleted virtual table in a MERGE statement just like a trigger.
