Add a materialized view relations.
A materialized view has a rule just like a view and a heap and other physical properties like a table. The rule is only used to populate the table, references in queries refer to the materialized data. This is a minimal implementation, but should still be useful in many cases. Currently data is only populated "on demand" by the CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW and REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW statements. It is expected that future releases will add incremental updates with various timings, and that a more refined concept of defining what is "fresh" data will be developed. At some point it may even be possible to have queries use a materialized in place of references to underlying tables, but that requires the other above-mentioned features to be working first. Much of the documentation work by Robert Haas. Review by Noah Misch, Thom Brown, Robert Haas, Marko Tiikkaja Security review by KaiGai Kohei, with a decision on how best to implement sepgsql still pending.

You must own the materialized view to use <command>ALTER MATERIALIZED

To alter the owner, you must also be a direct or indirect member of the new

owning role, and that role must have <literal>CREATE</literal> privilege on
62+
the materialized view's schema. (These restrictions enforce that altering
63+
the owner doesn't do anything you couldn't do by dropping and recreating the

materialized view. However, a superuser can alter ownership of any view

anyway.)
