A "cartodb" user table is a table with a well-known set of fields and a well-known set of triggers attached on.
The fields are:
- cartodb_id, a numerical primary key of serial type
- created_at, timestamp with timezone not null default now()
- updated_at, timestamp with timezone not null default now()
- the_geom, geometry, GiST indexed
- the_geom_webmercator, geometry, GiST indexed
The triggers are (can change in the future):
- cache_checkpoint before modifying statement invalidates varnish (wrong to be before?)
- track_updates after modifying statement updates cdb_tablemetadata
- test_quota before changing statement to forbid if overquota
- test_quota_per_row before changing row to forbod if overquota (checked on a probabilistic basis)
- update_the_geom_webmercator before insert or update row to maintain the_geom_webmercator
- update_updated_at_trigger before update row to maintain updated_at
