Starting and Stopping Greenplum Database
==========================================================================================================
gpstart  Start a Greenplum Database system
gpstart -R
Start a Greenplum Database system in restricted mode 
(only allow superuser connections)
gpstart -m PGOPTIONS='-c gp_session_role=utility' psql
 Start the Greenplum master instance only and connect in utility mode
gpstart -? : Display the online help for the gpstart utility
==========================================================================================================
gpstop : 
Stop a Greenplum Database system in smart mode
gpstop -M fast : 
Stop a Greenplum Database system in fast mode
gpstop -r : Stop all segment instances and then restart the system
gpstop -m : Stop a master instance that was started in maintenance mode
gpstop -u : Reload the postgresql.conf and pg_hba.conf files after making runtime configuration parameter changes but do not shutdown the Greenplum Database array
gpstop -? : Display the online help for the gpstop utility

Connecting to the Greenplum database
==========================================================================================================
Usage:
  psql [OPTION]... [DBNAME [USERNAME]]

Connection options:
-h, --host=HOSTNAME           database server host or socket directory (default: "local socket")
-p, --port=PORT                     database server port (default: "5432")
-U, --username=USERNAME  database user name 
-w, --no-password                  never prompt for password
-W, --password                       force password prompt (should happen automatically)

psql -d gpdb -h gphostname or ipaddress -p 5432 -U gpadmin
psql -d gpdb -h gphostname or ipaddress -p 5432 -U gpadmin -W
psql gpdb
# Using the utility mode
PGOPTIONS = "-c gp_session_role = utility" psql -h -d dbname hostname -p port

General options:
-c, --command=COMMAND                     run only single command (SQL or internal) and exit
-d, --dbname=DBNAME                           database name to connect to (default: "testdb")
-f, --file=FILENAME                                execute commands from file, then exit
-l, --list                                                   list available databases, then exit
-v, --set=, --variable=NAME=VALUE        set psql variable NAME to VALUE
-X, --no-psqlrc                                         do not read startup file (~/.psqlrc)
-1 ("one"), --single-transaction                  execute command file as a single transaction
--help                                                      show this help, then exit
 --version                                                output version information, then exit

Input and output options:
-a, --echo-all                                          echo all input from script
-e, --echo-queries                                   echo commands sent to server
-E, --echo-hidden                                   display queries that internal commands generate
-L, --log-file=FILENAME                         send session log to file
-n, --no-readline                                     disable enhanced command line editing (readline)
-o, --output=FILENAME                         send query results to file (or |pipe)
-q, --quiet                                              run quietly (no messages, only query output)
-s, --single-step                                     single-step mode (confirm each query)
 -S, --single-line                                     single-line mode (end of line terminates SQL command)

Output format options:
-A, --no-align                                         unaligned table output mode
-F, --field-separator=STRING                  set field separator (default: "|")
-H, --html                                              HTML table output mode
-P, --pset=VAR[=ARG]                          set printing option VAR to ARG (see \pset command)
-R, --record-separator=STRING               set record separator (default: newline)
