Thanks for writeup.
Yes PostgreSQL is an incredible database except for it’s Mat Views, IMO this is their biggest weakness vs Oracle, SQL Server mat views are also poor with umpteen restrictions.
With PG any view can be a Mat View, problwm is they don’t have incremental refresh or auto refresh.
So not v useful, I roll my own, using custom tables and transaction id’s, not too difficult since all are auto generated but would be nice if Postgres added incremental refresh.
I think this their most urgent missing capability that should be top of the list for v12.
