IVM Development Group is pleased to announce the release of pg_ivm 1.15.

Changes since the v1.14 release include:

What's Changed

New features

  • Add IMMV metadata restore support for pg_dump and pg_upgrade (Yugo Nagata)

    After restoring a database from pg_dump or upgrading PostgreSQL using pg_upgrade, IMMVs no longer need to be dropped and recreated manually. The new pg_ivm_dump_metadata utility and restore_immv() function restore the metadata required by pg_ivm, allowing incremental maintenance to continue without recreating the IMMVs.

Bug fixes

  • Fix incorrect maintenance when the same table is modified multiple times by triggers (Yugo Nagata)

    Previously, if a table was modified multiple times by user-defined or RI triggers, incremental maintenance could produce inconsistent results or lead to duplicate key violations.

  • Fix segfault during outer-join views maintenance (Yugo Nagata)

    This bug was introduced in v1.14.

About pg_ivm

pg_ivm is an extension module that provides Incremental View Maintenance (IVM) feature.

Incremental View Maintenance (IVM) is a way to make materialized views up-to-date in which only incremental changes are computed and applied on views rather than recomputing. pg_ivm provides a kind of immediate maintenance, in which materialized views are updated immediately after a base table is modified.
