17 CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW defines a materialized view of a query. The
18 query is executed and used to populate the view at the time the command
19 is issued (unless WITH NO DATA is used) and may be refreshed later
20 using REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW.
21
22 CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW is similar to CREATE TABLE AS, except that it
23 also remembers the query used to initialize the view, so that it can be
24 refreshed later upon demand. A materialized view has many of the same
25 properties as a table, but there is no support for temporary
26 materialized views or automatic generation of OIDs.
27
29 IF NOT EXISTS
30 Do not throw an error if a materialized view with the same name
31 already exists. A notice is issued in this case. Note that there is
32 no guarantee that the existing materialized view is anything like
33 the one that would have been created.
34
35 table_name
36 The name (optionally schema-qualified) of the materialized view to
37 be created.
38
39 column_name
40 The name of a column in the new materialized view. If column names
41 are not provided, they are taken from the output column names of
42 the query.
43
44 WITH ( storage_parameter [= value] [, ... ] )
45 This clause specifies optional storage parameters for the new
46 materialized view; see Storage Parameters for more information. All
47 parameters supported for CREATE TABLE are also supported for CREATE
48 MATERIALIZED VIEW with the exception of OIDS. See CREATE TABLE
49 (CREATE_TABLE(7)) for more information.
50
51 TABLESPACE tablespace_name
52 The tablespace_name is the name of the tablespace in which the new
53 materialized view is to be created. If not specified,
54 default_tablespace is consulted.
55
56 query
57 A SELECT(7), TABLE, or VALUES(7) command. This query will run
58 within a security-restricted operation; in particular, calls to
59 functions that themselves create temporary tables will fail.
60
61 WITH [ NO ] DATA
62 This clause specifies whether or not the materialized view should
63 be populated at creation time. If not, the materialized view will
64 be flagged as unscannable and cannot be queried until REFRESH
65 MATERIALIZED VIEW is used.
66
68 CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW is a PostgreSQL extension.
