Materialized Views

[Michael Riess <mlriess@xxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've been reading an interesting article which compared different 
database systems, focusing on materialized views. I was wondering how 
the postgresql developers feel about this feature ... is it planned to 
implement materialized views any time soon? They would greatly improve 
both performance and readability (and thus maintainability) of my code.

In particular I'm interested in a view which materializes whenever 
queried, and is invalidated as soon as underlying data is changed.
