Queries read precomputed rows — fast — but the data is frozen until you REFRESH it. Right for expensive aggregates where slightly-stale is acceptable (dashboards, leaderboards); wrong for anything that must be current, like account balances."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I INSERT or UPDATE through a view?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Sometimes — simple single-table views without aggregates, DISTINCT, or GROUP BY are updatable, and the change lands in the base table. Once a view aggregates or joins, the engine can't know which underlying rows a change means, so writes are rejected (PostgreSQL offers INSTEAD OF triggers as an escape hatch)."}}]}
