We are only running the materialised view. We used to run the non-view query directly and always suffered from the conflict with recovery error due to data changes on the replica server during the query run. We increased the max_standby_streaming_delay quite a lot, but these are very heavy queries which take a long time. So that is when we decided to convert to an MV. We get the conflict a lot less, but still enough to be annoying. This suggests that not all the MV data is cached and it still queries the source tables in some way? Z
