Hi folks, I had a crack at this, and it was pretty simple to get something working to play around with, and it seems like it might be useful.
I developed it against 10.1, as that's what I happened to be working with at the time. The patch is pretty small, and I hoped it would apply cleanly against 11. Unfortunately it doesn't, but I doubt the issues are substantial. If there is interest in moving this forward, I'll update and re-share. The patch enables pretty much exactly what Jeremy suggests — something like "refresh materialized view concurrently testview where type = 'main';" — with fairly obvious semantics. Welcome comments on the patch or approach. denty. (Seems I can't attach via the web interface, so copy/paste patch below.) -- Sent from: http://www.postgresql-archive.org/PostgreSQL-hackers-f1928748.html
