[GENERAL] Request for Materialized Views
Hi, I am not sure about the right place to post this question so I'm trying here first: We are using Postgres in our company successfully since 2001 but now we arrived at the conclusion that we really need "Materialized Views" for our further business. Also we decided that we should try to pay someone from the community for the feature to be implemented for Postgres instead of doing it ourselves. While we know that this is common practice in open source projects I would like to ask how such a kind of "announcement" should be made for Postgres.

Short of having an all purpose macro, did you try one of the already available methods to roll it your own? Otoh, I do not want to spoil the fun of putting "yes we have materialized views" to the list of marketing relevant things ;-) Cheers Tino smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

Jan, > we arrived at the conclusion that we really need "Materialized Views" > for our further business. just some information http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Updatable_views are on the wishlist for PostgreSQL 8.4; and (Bernd) is the one coordinating it: http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Todo:WishlistFor84 As the whole VIEW system has to be touched for this AND for materialized views, maybe it is a good idea to contact him? also: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs.TODO.html MATERIALIZED VIEWS have been on the TODO list for quite some time ... > someone from the community for the feature to be implemented for > Postgres instead of doing it ourselves. I think after asking here on PostgreSQL-General, your next step may be to propose sth along the lines: "would like sponsor sb to build MATERIALIZED VIEWS into PostgreSQL" on pgsql-hackers: "The PostgreSQL developers team lives here. Discussion of current development issues, problems and bugs, and proposed new features. If your question cannot be answered by people in the other lists, and it is likely that only a developer will know the answer, you may re-post your question in this list. You must try elsewhere first!" best wishes, Harald -- GHUM Harald Massa persuadere et programmare Harald Armin Massa Spielberger Straße 49 70435 Stuttgart 0173/9409607 fx 01212-5-13695179 - EuroPython 2008 will take place in Vilnius, Lithuania - Stay tuned! -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

If you're willing to fund development by yourself then it shouldn't be hard to get this done. I know for a fact that Command Prompt will develop features for hire, so they'd probably be willing to undertake this. But fully sponsoring this might not be cheap... If you're not willing to fund this entirely on your own then things get a lot more complicated. -- Decibel!, aka Jim C.
