The sample computations were not evaluated. They should be

In[1]:= Merge[{1, 5, 7}, {2, 3, 8}]

Out[1]= {1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8}

In[2]:= Merge[{}, {2, 3}]

Out[2]= {2, 3}

In[3]:= Merge[{1, 1, 2, 3}, {2, 3}]

Out[3]= {1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3}

The sample computation was not evaluated. It should be

The SQL statement should read
