The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/rules-materializedviews.html
Description:

There might be an issue on this page:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/rules-materializedviews.html

I think the statement 
CREATE TABLE mymatview AS SELECT * FROM mytab;
should actuall be
CREATE VIEW mymatview AS SELECT * FROM mytab;

kind regards,
Mark

No, CREATE TABLE is correct in this case because that section is about the
persistence of matview results like a table.

Ah yes, I understand it now. The surrounding text had me confused. Thanks.
