Joining Data

I have two sets of data which have some similar columns.
Table one has column: A B C D E
and table two has column: B C D J K L ...

The first table is the main table and the second table contains some additional general information.

I want to append to table 1 the records in table two. So in this case records B C D from table two should be added.

The resulting table should look like A B+ C+ D+ E. The plus signs just indicates that these columns have been added to. A and E should remain the same.

Without more details it's hard to give you a clear answer, but you should check out the commands join and appendcols.

I have tried join and appendcols is not what I want at all. I'm not sure how to give more information.
All I want to do is append to table one without creating new columns that exist in the second table.
ie.

Table 1 Table 2

A B C D A B C Z
1 1 1 1 4 2 2 2
2 1 1 1 5 2 2 2
3 1 1 1 6 2 2 2

Results Table

A B C D
1 1 1 1
2 1 1 1
3 1 1 1
4 2 2
5 2 2
6 2 2
