So, taking a second stab at this:
Database VIEWs allow application developers to abstract database access,
making application code simpler and version migrations easier. As such,
PostgreSQL has improved our view support:
* Materialized View declaration
* Auto-updatable VIEWs
* Recursive Views
I think that puts the new features more strongly, and also explains how
views relate to the reader. Yes?
