Option 1

If you want to merge these 2 tables,

Steps:

1. Alter table table1 (means, change designing of Table1) and add columns of table2 (i.e. smarks & sresult).

2. Write update query using join.

Update Table1
set smarks=t2.smarks
sresult=t2.sresult
from table1 t1 inner join table2 t2 on
t1.sid=t2.sid

3. "drop table table2" Query to delete table2 as it is no more in use for u.

Another Option

If u dont want to above then u can create one view which will have merged output. And u can use that view as table anywhere. But u cant update view from outside.

So, as per your requirement, use the best option.
