As others have said, MERGE is not a command in Postgres. The document you
linked is a development document from a long time ago when it was proposed
at one time, but it was never accepted. Please reference the actual
PostgreSQL documentation.

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/index.html

If you need UPSERT like behavior, look at the INSERT ... ON CONFLICT
statement.
