I am a little lost as to why I need merge. I don't need to check if the records match. That is, the Target Table has no records. And I want to create one record in the Target Table for each record in the Source table. I thought that I just need something like:

insert into Ten_name set ten_pk = x.ten_pk, user_id = x.user_id, user_pwrd = x.user_pwrd from 
(select ten_pk, user_id, user_pwrd from Tenant x)

Does the above make sense?
