If they modified the heap files that way while the server was
running, the results would be somewhat unpredictable. If they did
it while the server was stopped, starting the server and attempting
to access the matview would generate:
ERROR: materialized view "matview_name" has not been populated
HINT: Use the REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW command.
