Description: Materialized view is a process that involves storing the result of a view query in a physical table. Unlike traditional views, which are virtual queries executed in real-time each time they are accessed, materialized views allow data to be precomputed and stored, which can significantly improve query performance in large and complex databases. This approach is particularly useful in scenarios where data does not change frequently, allowing queries to be executed more quickly and efficiently. Materialized views can be updated periodically or in response to changes in the underlying data, providing a balance between data freshness and performance. In database systems, materialized views are valuable tools for optimizing data access and enhancing user experience by reducing query response times. Additionally, their implementation can be crucial in data analysis applications and environments requiring intensive information processing, facilitating data-driven decision-making with updated and accessible information.
