Assuming I understand what you want correctly: Before you could usefully
do anything like that, I think you'd need to implement full support for
materialized views.
Once that's in place, the optimizer could potentially be enhanced to
recognise queries against a base table and rewrite it to use a
materialized view of the table when it sees that the query only touches
data collected by the materialized view.
Right now, there isn't really anything for query rewriting like this to
/target/ .
