Table partitioning does nothing to solve the performance problems of joins of very large datasets. Materialized views can help but they are not a panacea. You have to trigger the updates yourself, and because they are updated asynchronously, you will not have a consistent view of your data. E.g. you could write a row to the database and not see it updated in your view for minutes.
