SQL - Can I use a CTE with MERGE ?

Hi all,

I'm not sure if this is allowed so I'm checking with the group.
I'm trying to use a common table expression (CTE) with a MERGE statement.

I've tried:

MERGE INTO table_name USING (
WITH cte_name AS ( ...

and I get keyword AS not expected.

I've tried:

WITH cte_name AS ( ... )
MERGE INTO table_name USING ( ...

and I get Keyword MERGE not expected.

I'm on 7.1, TR 11.

Yours truly,
