I created a materialized view named view_table_A
on a foreign data wrapper table table_A
. What I want is for the view to be automatically updated after every new insert in table_A
. I tried to do this with triggers but it didn't work.
Is it possible to refresh a materialized view automatically without using triggers?

As a_horse_with_no_name said in a comment:
Alternatively, if you need a
MATERIALIZED VIEW
that refreshes when you runSELECT
, just removeMATERIALIZED
and use a regularVIEW
. Materialization only adds a periodic cache. It's only needed when the query itself is prohibitively slow or hot.
