Well the situation is that i am merging data of one table in data of another
table using a program
so it is going to add all values by it self .I am not actually using insert
query in that case to select values to add.
There is another scenario , what if inserting a data and i want to bypass
the primary key conflict and just update rest of the values.
again i am combing two tables together so it should take all columns .
