The WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE ... DELETE only permits deleting from the
target table, and I don't think it can you can build a key-preserved
view as the target of the join, especially when the target table
doesn't have the matching rows.
After reading the OP's most recent post post, I suspect that the only
practical choices are to:
- Build a PL/SQL collections of records for manipulation, validation
and migration:
- Use a global temporary table as a staging where one does as much
manipulation and validation at the SQL level. This should mitigate
some of the concurrency issues, as you're working with a copy of the
data.
- Exploit the LOG ERRORS DML clause to capture the records which fail
referential integrity validation. If you're not using RI, well, that
solution will be less effective.
