Explanation
Deployment option for changes to an unrelated table: Deploy a patch with the changes made from the current solution. — A patch is created from an existing managed solution and carries only the delta (the added or modified components), so importing it layers the new table changes on top of what is already installed without touching unrelated components or removing anything, which is exactly what is needed for a small, isolated change that must not disrupt the running system. Deploying a full copy of the current or new solution with the upgrade option would reinstall the entire solution and delete any components no longer present in the package, an unnecessarily heavy and riskier operation for a single unrelated table.
Deployment option for automation enhancements: Deploy a full copy of the original solution using the upgrade option. Then, deploy the new solution by using the update option. — The upgrade pass on the original solution rolls up (consolidates) any outstanding patches and cleans out components that were deliberately removed, giving a clean, consistent base; the follow-up new solution is then brought in with the update option, which merges its automation components into the target environment while preserving components that are not part of that package, so existing customizations and dependencies keep working. The alternatives that use the upgrade option for both deployments, or that apply the new solution before the original is upgraded, risk deleting components the other solution still depends on or leaving the base solution in an inconsistent, un-rolled-up state.
