    To merge two DataFrames using the SQL MERGE statement in Azure Databricks with Spark, you'll need to :

    1. Load your data from SQL Server and other sources into DataFrames.
    2. Register the DataFrames as temporary views to use them in SQL statements.
    3. Write a MERGE statement using SQL to merge the DataFrames.
    4. I am assuming you have one DataFrame loaded from a SQL Server table and another DataFrame created from Spark SQL:
    
    # Load DataFrame from SQL Server
    
    df2 = spark.read \
    
        .format("jdbc") \
    
        .option("url", "jdbc:sqlserver://<server_name>;databaseName=<database_name>") \
    
        .option("dbtable", "Table2") \
    
        .option("user", "<username>") \
    
        .option("password", "<password>") \
    
        .load()
    
    # Load another DataFrame using Spark SQL
    
    df1 = spark.sql("SELECT col1, col2 FROM table1")
    

    Then you register your temp views :

    
    df1.createOrReplaceTempView("df1_view")
    
    df2.createOrReplaceTempView("df2_view")
    

    Using Spark SQL, you can write a MERGE statement. In Spark, you might need to use Delta Lake to perform merge operations effectively.

    
    # Ensure Delta Lake is available
    
    spark.conf.set("spark.databricks.delta.formatCheck.enabled", False)
    
    

    Now, create Delta tables and perform the merge:

    
    # Create Delta table from df2
    
    df2.write.format("delta").mode("overwrite").saveAsTable("delta_table2")
    
    # Merge df1 into delta_table2
    
    spark.sql("""
    
        MERGE INTO delta_table2 AS target
    
        USING df1_view AS source
    
        ON target.col1 = source.col1
    
        WHEN MATCHED THEN
    
          UPDATE SET target.col2 = source.col2
    
        WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
    
          INSERT (col1, col2) VALUES (source.col1, source.col2)
    
    """)
