Andres,
Further, we get pretty much one and only one chance to promote a new
major feature, which is when that feature is first introduced.
Improving the feature in the next version of Postgres is not news, so we
can't successfully promote it. If we soft-pedal MVs in the 9.3
announcement, we will not be able to get people excited about them in
9.4; they will be "yesterday's news".
+1 on this. they are useful to me as immediately and I work in busy
environments. the formal matview feature is a drop in replace for my
ad hoc implementation of 'drop cache table, replace from view'. I
already have to work around the locking issue anyways -- sure, it
would be great if I didn't have to do that either but I'll take the
huge syntactical convenience alone.
Just to throw my +1 into the ring. Well written Josh.
