The deployment notes called materialized views experimental. Nothing
published says so; the word came from one comment in Sophon's create
handler. What Sophon's source does establish is that a deployment serves
materialized views only with derived_compute_enabled, which is off by
default, so the pages now say that instead.
The SDK now sends CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW and REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW
to a db:// deployment as SQL, and refuses source_version on a remote
refresh. Current Sophon source accepts both statements, with CASCADE and
WITH (full = true), but only on deployments that enable materialized
views, and whether a refresh rebuilds the view or reconciles changes
depends on configuration. The pages said there is no CREATE MATERIALIZED
VIEW statement, that refreshes are incremental by default and that
CASCADE is not implemented.
The refresh, management and SQL reference pages now describe what the
SDK sends, say that materialized views are experimental and must be
enabled on a deployment, and leave refresh behaviour, CASCADE and the
job type to the deployment's version and configuration. The SQL and
management summaries list CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW. No deployment was
exercised.
OSS docs now own the full usage content for features that only run against
an Enterprise deployment, since the client interface itself lives here;
Enterprise docs keep only the parts specific to its own behavior. Sophon's
overlay for these five pages is dropped since the OSS versions are now the
complete reference.
SQL Reference is restructured to match an object-type SQL manual (DDL by
object, then DML, then DQL, then Expressions) instead of the old flat,
loosely-ordered page list, absorbing the SQL client-connection guide and
FTS-via-SQL examples into it.
