CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW(7) | PostgreSQL 9.6.12 Documentation | CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW(7) |
NAME¶
CREATE_MATERIALIZED_VIEW - define a new materialized viewSYNOPSIS¶
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW [ IF NOT EXISTS ] table_name [ (column_name [, ...] ) ] [ WITH ( storage_parameter [= value] [, ... ] ) ] [ TABLESPACE tablespace_name ] AS query [ WITH [ NO ] DATA ]
DESCRIPTION¶
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW defines a materialized view of a query. The query is executed and used to populate the view at the time the command is issued (unless WITH NO DATA is used) and may be refreshed later using REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW.CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW is similar to CREATE TABLE AS, except that it also remembers the query used to initialize the view, so that it can be refreshed later upon demand. A materialized view has many of the same properties as a table, but there is no support for temporary materialized views or automatic generation of OIDs.
PARAMETERS¶
IF NOT EXISTSDo not throw an error if a materialized view with the
same name already exists. A notice is issued in this case. Note that there is
no guarantee that the existing materialized view is anything like the one that
would have been created.
table_name
The name (optionally schema-qualified) of the
materialized view to be created.
column_name
The name of a column in the new materialized view. If
column names are not provided, they are taken from the output column names of
the query.
WITH ( storage_parameter [= value] [, ... ] )
This clause specifies optional storage parameters for the
new materialized view; see Storage Parameters for more information. All
parameters supported for CREATE TABLE are also supported for CREATE
MATERIALIZED VIEW with the exception of OIDS. See CREATE TABLE
(CREATE_TABLE(7)) for more information.
TABLESPACE tablespace_name
The tablespace_name is the name of the tablespace
in which the new materialized view is to be created. If not specified,
default_tablespace is consulted.
query
A SELECT(7), TABLE, or VALUES(7) command.
This query will run within a security-restricted operation; in particular,
calls to functions that themselves create temporary tables will fail.
WITH [ NO ] DATA
This clause specifies whether or not the materialized
view should be populated at creation time. If not, the materialized view will
be flagged as unscannable and cannot be queried until REFRESH MATERIALIZED
VIEW is used.
COMPATIBILITY¶
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW is a PostgreSQL extension.SEE ALSO¶
