Superprojection

A projection that includes all columns in an anchor table. Vertica uses superprojections to ensure support for all queries and other DML operations.

Under certain conditions, Vertica automatically creates a table's superprojection immediately on table creation. Vertica also creates a superprojection when you first load data into that table, if none already exists. CREATE PROJECTION can create a superprojection if it specifies to include all table columns. A table can have multiple superprojections.
