<title>Description</title>
<para>
<command>REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW</command> 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
<literal>WITH DATA</literal> 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 <literal>WITH NO DATA</literal> is specified no new
data is generated and the materialized view is left in an unscannable
state.
</para>
<para>
<literal>CONCURRENTLY</literal> and <literal>WITH NO DATA</literal> may not
be specified together.
</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Parameters</title>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><literal>CONCURRENTLY</literal></term>
<listitem>
<para>
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.
</para>
<para>
This option is only allowed if there is at least one
<literal>UNIQUE</literal> 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 <literal>WHERE</literal> clause.
</para>
<para>
This option may not be used when the materialized view is not already
populated.
</para>
<para>
Even with this option only one <literal>REFRESH</literal> at a time may
run against any one materialized view.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><replaceable class="parameter">name</replaceable></term>
<listitem>
<para>
The name (optionally schema-qualified) of the materialized view to
refresh.

<refsect1>
<title>Notes</title>
<para>
If there is an <literal>ORDER BY</literal> clause in the materialized
view's defining query, the original contents of the materialized view
will be ordered that way; but <command>REFRESH MATERIALIZED
VIEW</command> does not guarantee to preserve that ordering.
</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Examples</title>
<para>
This command will replace the contents of the materialized view called
<literal>order_summary</literal> using the query from the materialized
view's definition, and leave it in a scannable state:
<programlisting>
REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW order_summary;
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
This command will free storage associated with the materialized view
<literal>annual_statistics_basis</literal> and leave it in an unscannable
state:
<programlisting>
REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW annual_statistics_basis WITH NO DATA;
</programlisting></para>
</refsect1>

<title>Compatibility</title>
