TAureliusManager.Merge<E> Method
Merges a transient entity into the manager and returns the persistent (managed) entity instance with the same identifier.
Remarks
If no persistent entity with the same identifier exists in the manager, Aurelius will try to load it from the database. If it is not found in the database either, an exception is raised. To insert a new object if it does not exist, use Replicate instead. Call Flush afterwards to persist the changes to the database.
