That's quite an academic question, given that we really don't support
materiealized views. Presumably updating materialized views would have
the same limitations as normal views; only simple views are updatable,
but you can create custom rules. Presumably physical level operations,
like CREATE INDEX, CLUSTER and VACUUM would work on materialized views
just like on tables.
Is that the kind of operations you were thinking of?
