One resource on this topic that appears to be quite authoritative is
"Materialized Views: Techniques, Implementations, and Applications" by
A. Gupta and I. Mumick (MIT Press, 1999). That might present the
material in a manner that is easier to grok than the original papers
themselves.
I didn't realize that it was possible to spend 600 pages only
discussing materialized views, but it apparently it is :-)
