Yes, nothing wrong with using the MV, or refreshing it:
postgres=# TABLE mv_test2;
moo | ?column?
-----+----------
1 | 2
1 | 3
(2 rows)
postgres=# SELECT * FROM mv_test2;
moo | ?column?
-----+----------
1 | 2
1 | 3
(2 rows)
postgres=# REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW mv_test2;
REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW
But a pg_dump of the MV has the same issue as the view definition:
--
-- Name: mv_test2; Type: MATERIALIZED VIEW; Schema: public; Owner: thom;
Tablespace:
--
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW mv_test2 (
moo,
"?column?"
) AS
SELECT "*SELECT* 1".moo, "*SELECT* 1"."?column?"
WITH NO DATA;
--
Thom
