finally delete the temporary table. This could be used import and update some data periodically while
allowing to add columns to the data that will be preserved across updates.
```sql
CREATE tmp_pois(cartodb_id int, name text, type text, longitude double precision, latitude double precision);
CREATE tmp_pois(cartodb_id int, name text, type text, longitude double precision, latitude double precision, rank int);
COPY tmp_pois FROM '/tmp/pois.csv';
SELECT CDB_SyncTable('tmp_pois', 'public', 'pois');
DROP TABLE tmp_pois;
```
Now we could perform some changes to the `pois` to maintain our own ranking:
```sql
UPDATE pois SET rank = random()*4 + 1;
```
Then, if the source were updated at `/tmp/pois.csv` we could synchronize with it while maintaining our `rank` values with:
```sql
CREATE tmp_pois(cartodb_id int, name text, type text, longitude double precision, latitude double precision, rank int);
COPY tmp_pois FROM '/tmp/pois.csv';
SELECT CDB_SyncTable('tmp_pois', 'public', 'pois', '{rank}');
DROP TABLE tmp_pois;
```
