From what I understand the data will be “persisted” (physically stored, not just retrieved when i need it). Is this correct?
If so what would be the advantage of using an indexed view versus just using a table?
We use Indexed views to “pre JOIN” several commonly used tables that are used in many places.
They are also useful to implement filtered indexes before SQL Server 2008
However, MSDN has an article on them: “Improving Performance with SQL Server 2005 Indexed Views” (first hit on Google BTW)
