Because your client tools offload responsibility from oracle by doing the initial parsing. Your tool "knows" that there is no SQL command starting with the word "MERGE" and it immediately throws an error, without even contacting the server. That's the blessing of easily accessible grammar parsers. You can write a note of protest to the authors of lex, yacc, flex, bison and byacc.
