hello,
I have a tabular form which display 10 of records for each column.

I want to re-insert specific data in the same table after some change I will make.

but it does not work because of primary key .

INSERT pushes new rows into a table.
If you insist upon doing another INSERT, then first you must DELETE the rows.
Otherwise to change existing rows you must use UPDATE instead of INSERT.

You can want to fly like a bird.
You don't always get what you want.

Primary Key exists to prevent duplicates.
Either disable or drop the PK, OR provide a new & different PK value.
