Hi,

I have a script where I read from a table, lets call it A, to another table, lets call it B. In table B I have added a number of columns (and attributes in those columns) that doesn't exist in table A. This script needs to be automated. However, what happens is that it deletes the attributes that I added manually. I dont want that to happen. What I want for table B to do is:

1. ONLY update columns that derives from table A.

2. DO NOT delete attributes that only exist in table B

How should I proceed with this issue?

@souryananassera The tutorial Updating Databases: Updating Individual Fields of a Record explains how to update only some fields in a record. Simply remove the attributes you do not want to update form the feature - i.e. AttributeManager or AttributeRemover.
