    Merges an updated version of this column with an existing version.
    The name cannot be changed (it is what links the existing column and the update). The SQL type will be that provided in the update, if non-null, else the original type. Properties are merged using standard rules: those in the update take precedence. Null values in the update remove the existing property, non-null values update the property. Any properties in the update but not in the existing set, are inserted (if non-null).
