merge

Combines two records into a single record by merging their fields.

merge(x: record, y: record) -> record

Description

The merge function takes two records and returns a new record containing all fields from both records. If both records contain the same field, the value from the second record takes precedence.

Examples

Basic record merging

from {x: {a: 1, b: 2}, y: {c: 3, d: 4}}
select result = merge(x, y)

{
  result: {
    a: 1,
    b: 2,
    c: 3,
    d: 4
  }
}

Handling overlapping fields

When fields exist in both records, the second record’s values take precedence:

from {
  r1: {name: "Alice", age: 30},
  r2: {name: "Bob", location: "NY"},
}
select result = merge(r1, r2)

{
  result: {
    name: "Bob",
    age: 30,
    location: "NY"
  }
}

Handling null values

If either input is null, the input will be ignored.

from {x: {a: 1}, y: null}
select result = merge(x, y)

{
  result {
    a: 1
  }
}
