It is up to the application to then re-create the queue when the user registers, or upload data directly from the existing tables instead.

A small amount of metadata per row is also stored in the `ps_oplog` table. We do not recommend deleting this data, as it can cause or hide consistency issues when later uploading the data. If the overhead in `ps_oplog` is too much, rather use the local-only tables approach.

### Local-only columns on synced tables

If you need individual local-only columns on a table that is otherwise synced (rather than an entirely local-only table), this can be achieved with [raw tables](/client-sdks/advanced/raw-tables#local-only-columns).
