Agreed, JD. > Offensive is relative. I find it offensive when people demand things on one > of the many mailing lists I read without providing anything to the > community. I have to agree with JD. Your response was quite negative. Similarly, your statement, "If it was so easy, and such a clear win, I think one of the very competent people using PostgreSQL today would have already done it?" is misplaced. Jean-Michel didn't say it was easy at all, he just explained some of the benefits. Having used materialized views for years, I can tell you they are an important feature Postgres currently lacks (in native form). Also, as I have personally looked into implementing materialized views in Postgres, I can tell you it's not too difficult. However, as Simon stated, it's an iterative process. You don't need to jump on someone for a well-written request with a specific use-case. -- Jonah H.
