Materialized Views

[Victorcorcos]

Hello guys

Do you have plans on creating Materialized Views for this MySQL gem?
Maybe using an approach to deal with it? Since the MySQL doesn't have it naturally

Thanks

We could probably get close! MySQL supports CREATE TABLE ... SELECT. We could do refreshes with TRUNCATE; INSERT INTO ... SELECT and updates with maybe handle updates by creating a new table and swapping it for the old one (to minimize the time when the table is gone).

The trick would be allowing a dev to define one single SELECT definition that can be used for all strategies.
