Solution 1

First step would be add the column using an Update Table query.
Second step would be to copy data from first tables column to another.

Assume that your source table and target table is same and both database are in same sql server instance. If so then you add column with same data-type which you import from source table.

SQL

alter table add NewColumnName int null;

then need to update that table with update query with join

SQL

update TargetTable set
 MyNewColumnName = T.SourceColumn
FROM SourceDatabase.schema.SourceTable AS T
inner join TargetTable ON TargetTable.PrimaryKey = T.PrimaryKey;

If your source and target database is in 2 differet sql server instance/network then you just need to create a link server to your target database and use that linkserver reference to the update query.
