Now you're moving from REFRESH territory into incremental
maintenance.  There have been a very large number of papers written
on that topic, I have reviewed the literature, and I have picked a
technique which looks like it will be fast and reliable -- based on
relational algebra.  Let's save discussion of alternatives such as
you're suggesting here, for when I get past the easy stuff ... like
just refreshing a view so that the new contents are the same as
what you would see if you re-ran the query defining the matview.
