    Re: what is wrong with this query.

    Have you tried removing the 'AS'?

    Code:
    MERGE INTO copy_emp c USING  emp e
       ON (c.empno = e.empno)
     WHEN MATCHED THEN
    UPDATE SET c.empno      = e.empno,
               c.ename      = e.ename,
               c.job        = e.job,
               c.mgr        = e.mgr,
               c.hiredate   = e.hiredate,
               c.sal        = e.sal,
               c.comm       = e.comm,
               c.deptno     = e.deptno
    WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT VALUES
       ( e.empno,    e.name, e.job,  e.mgr,
         e.hiredate, e.sal,  e.comm, e.deptno);

    also remove updating the column on which join is made othewise merge will throw an error i.e.

    MERGE INTO copy_emp c USING emp e
    ON (c.empno = e.empno)
    WHEN MATCHED THEN
    UPDATE SET --- c.empno = e.empno,
    c.ename = e.ename,
    c.job = e.job,
    c.mgr = e.mgr,
    c.hiredate = e.hiredate,
    c.sal = e.sal,
    c.comm = e.comm,
    c.deptno = e.deptno
    WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT VALUES
    ( e.empno, e.name, e.job, e.mgr,
    e.hiredate, e.sal, e.comm, e.deptno);
    Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterwards.
