Examples

-- Prepare data.
CREATE TABLE t1(c1 int, c2 int);
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES(1, 1);
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES(2, 2);

-- Create a fast-refresh materialized view.
openGauss=# CREATE INCREMENTAL MATERIALIZED VIEW mv AS SELECT * FROM t1;
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW

-- Insert data.
openGauss=# INSERT INTO t1 VALUES(3, 3);
INSERT 0 1

-- Fast refresh a materialized view.
openGauss=# REFRESH INCREMENTAL MATERIALIZED VIEW mv;
