This default administrator account is fundamental to the design of HAWQ. The system cannot run without it, and there is no way to limit the access of this gpadmin user id. Use roles to manage who has access to the database for specific purposes. You should only use the `gpadmin` account for system maintenance tasks such as expansion and upgrade. Anyone who logs on to a HAWQ host as this user id can read, alter or delete any data; including system catalog data and database access rights.

- **Assign a distinct role to each user that logs in.** For logging and auditing purposes, each user that is allowed to log in to HAWQ should be given their own database role. For applications or web services, consider creating a distinct role for each application or service. See [Creating New Roles \(Users\)](#topic3).
- **Use groups to manage access privileges.** See [Role Membership](#topic5).
- **Limit users who have the SUPERUSER role attribute.** Roles that are superusers bypass all access privilege checks in HAWQ, as well as resource queuing. Only system administrators should be given superuser rights. See [Altering Role Attributes](#topic4).

-`hawq load` is a data loading utility that acts as an interface to HAWQ's external table parallel loading feature. Using a load specification defined in a YAML formatted control file, `hawq load` executes a load by invoking the HAWQ parallel file server ([gpfdist](gpfdist.html#topic1)), creating an external table definition based on the source data defined, and executing an `INSERT`, `UPDATE` or `MERGE` operation to load the source data into the target table in the database.

The operation, including any SQL commands specified in the `SQL` collection of the YAML control file (see [Control File Format](#topic1__section7)), are performed as a single transaction to prevent inconsistent data when performing multiple, simultaneous load operations on a target table.

Thus, dropping a column is quick but it will not immediately reduce the on-disk size of your table, as the space occupied by the dropped column is not reclaimed.
The fact that `ALTER TYPE` requires rewriting the whole table is sometimes an advantage, because the rewriting process eliminates any dead space in the table. For example, to reclaim the space occupied by a dropped column immediately, the fastest way is: `ALTER TABLE <table> ALTER COLUMN <anycol> TYPE <sametype>;` Where�\<anycol\>�is any remaining table column and�\<sametype\>�is the same type that column already has. This results in no semantically-visible change in the table, but the command forces rewriting, which gets rid of no-longer-useful data.

Therefore it is necessary to do `VACUUM` periodically, especially on frequently-updated catalog tables. (`VACUUM` has no effect on a normal HAWQ table, since the delete or update operations are not supported on normal HAWQ table.)
With no parameter, `VACUUM` processes every table in the current database. With a parameter, `VACUUM` processes only that table. `VACUUM ANALYZE` performs a `VACUUM` and then an `ANALYZE` for each selected table. This is a handy combination form for routine maintenance scripts. See [ANALYZE](ANALYZE.html) for more details about its processing.
-Plain `VACUUM` (without `FULL`) simply reclaims space and makes it available for re-use. This form of the command can operate in parallel with normal reading and writing of the table, as an exclusive lock is not obtained. `VACUUM FULL` does more extensive processing, including moving of tuples across blocks to try to compact the table to the minimum number of disk blocks. This form is much slower and requires an exclusive lock on each table while it is being processed.

- **Assign a distinct role to each user that logs in.** For logging and auditing purposes, each user that is allowed to log in to HAWQ should be given their own database role. For applications or web services, consider creating a distinct role for each application or service. See [Creating New Roles \(Users\)](#topic3).
- **Use groups to manage access privileges.** See [Role Membership](#topic5).
- **Limit users who have the SUPERUSER role attribute.** Roles that are superusers bypass all access privilege checks in HAWQ, as well as resource queuing. Only system administrators should be given superuser rights. See [Altering Role Attributes](#topic4).

Thus, dropping a column is quick but it will not immediately reduce the on-disk size of your table, as the space occupied by the dropped column is not reclaimed.
The fact that `ALTER TYPE` requires rewriting the whole table is sometimes an advantage, because the rewriting process eliminates any dead space in the table. For example, to reclaim the space occupied by a dropped column immediately, the fastest way is: `ALTER TABLE <table> ALTER COLUMN <anycol> TYPE <sametype>;` Where�\<anycol\>�is any remaining table column and�\<sametype\>�is the same type that column already has. This results in no semantically-visible change in the table, but the command forces rewriting, which gets rid of no-longer-useful data.

If a schema name is given then the table is created in the specified schema. Otherwise it is created in the current schema. Temporary tables exist in a special schema, so a schema name may not be given when creating a temporary table. The name of the table must be distinct from the name of any other table, external table, sequence, or view in the same schema.
-The optional constraint clauses specify conditions that new or updated rows must satisfy for an insert or update operation to succeed. A constraint is an SQL object that helps define the set of valid values in the table in various ways. Constraints apply to tables, not to partitions. You cannot add a constraint to a partition or subpartition.

A constraint is an SQL object that helps define the set of valid values in the table in various ways. Constraints apply to tables, not to partitions. You cannot add a constraint to a partition or subpartition.
There are two ways to define constraints: table constraints and column constraints. A column constraint is defined as part of a column definition. A table constraint definition is not tied to a particular column, and it can encompass more than one column. Every column constraint can also be written as a table constraint; a column constraint is only a notational convenience for use when the constraint only affects one column.

-`VACUUM` reclaims storage occupied by deleted tuples. In normal HAWQ operation, tuples that are deleted or obsoleted by an update are not physically removed from their table; they remain present on disk until a `VACUUM` is done.

Therefore it is necessary to do `VACUUM` periodically, especially on frequently-updated catalog tables. (`VACUUM` has no effect on a normal HAWQ table, since the delete or update operations are not supported on normal HAWQ table.)
With no parameter, `VACUUM` processes every table in the current database. With a parameter, `VACUUM` processes only that table. `VACUUM ANALYZE` performs a `VACUUM` and then an `ANALYZE` for each selected table. This is a handy combination form for routine maintenance scripts. See [ANALYZE](ANALYZE.html) for more details about its processing.
-Plain `VACUUM` (without `FULL`) simply reclaims space and makes it available for re-use. This form of the command can operate in parallel with normal reading and writing of the table, as an exclusive lock is not obtained. `VACUUM FULL` does more extensive processing, including moving of tuples across blocks to try to compact the table to the minimum number of disk blocks. This form is much slower and requires an exclusive lock on each table while it is being processed.
