+        This method is equivalent to the 'merge into' of T-sql. Schema and table defines the Target, while data is the

+        Aspects to take into consideration:
+        1.- This method will not work properly if data contains duplicates. It is not relevant if the target contains
+            duplicates because DISTINCT is used to call the table.
+        2.- When having booleans in the dataset you have to pay attention because pandas get bool from sql server as
+            [True, False], instead of [0,1]. The method need data from type boolean to be inserted as [0, 1].
+        3.- When dealing with datetime columns a similar problem arises. time_format is a dict that contains as keys
+            the name of a date column and as values the format that the columns has to have.
