REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW [ CONCURRENTLY ] <em class="replaceable"><code>name</code></em>
    [ WITH [ NO ] DATA ]
</pre></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.162.5"><h2>Description</h2><p>
   <code class="command">REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW</code> completely replaces the
   contents of a materialized view.  To execute this command you must be the
   owner of the materialized view.  The old contents are discarded.  If
   <code class="literal">WITH DATA</code> is specified (or defaults) the backing query
   is executed to provide the new data, and the materialized view is left in a
   scannable state.  If <code class="literal">WITH NO DATA</code> is specified no new
   data is generated and the materialized view is left in an unscannable
   state.
  </p><p>
   <code class="literal">CONCURRENTLY</code> and <code class="literal">WITH NO DATA</code> may not
   be specified together.
  </p></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.162.6"><h2>Parameters</h2><div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">CONCURRENTLY</code></span></dt><dd><p>
      Refresh the materialized view without locking out concurrent selects on
      the materialized view.  Without this option a refresh which affects a
      lot of rows will tend to use fewer resources and complete more quickly,
      but could block other connections which are trying to read from the
      materialized view.  This option may be faster in cases where a small
      number of rows are affected.
     </p><p>
      This option is only allowed if there is at least one
      <code class="literal">UNIQUE</code> index on the materialized view which uses only
      column names and includes all rows;  that is, it must not be an
      expression index or include a <code class="literal">WHERE</code> clause.
     </p><p>
      This option may not be used when the materialized view is not already
      populated.
     </p><p>
      Even with this option only one <code class="literal">REFRESH</code> at a time may
      run against any one materialized view.
     </p></dd><dt><span class="term"><em class="replaceable"><code>name</code></em></span></dt><dd><p>
      The name (optionally schema-qualified) of the materialized view to
      refresh.
     </p></dd></dl></div></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.162.7"><h2>Notes</h2><p>
   If there is an <code class="literal">ORDER BY</code> clause in the materialized
   view's defining query, the original contents of the materialized view
   will be ordered that way; but <code class="command">REFRESH MATERIALIZED
   VIEW</code> does not guarantee to preserve that ordering.
  </p></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.162.8"><h2>Examples</h2><p>
   This command will replace the contents of the materialized view called
   <code class="literal">order_summary</code> using the query from the materialized
   view's definition, and leave it in a scannable state:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW order_summary;
</pre><p>
  </p><p>
   This command will free storage associated with the materialized view
   <code class="literal">annual_statistics_basis</code> and leave it in an unscannable
   state:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW annual_statistics_basis WITH NO DATA;
</pre></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.162.9"><h2>Compatibility</h2><p>
   <code class="command">REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW</code> is a
   <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> extension.
