About This Guided Project
In this project, you will learn how to create and execute views and materialized views in the PostgreSQL database service using the pgAdmin graphical user interface (GUI) tool. Materialized views behave differently compared to regular views. In materialized views, result set is materialized or saved for future use. You can't insert, update, or delete rows like in regular views. Materialized views can improve performance.
