Tutorial: Using Starburst Galaxy’s materialized views with Apache Iceberg

Starburst Galaxy has introduced materialized views for catalogs using Great Lakes connectivity, offering a tutorial on using these with Apache Iceberg. Users are encouraged to sign up for Starburst Galaxy, which is free, and connect to a cloud object store to test the features. The tutorial provides a step-by-step guide to creating schemas and an Apache Iceberg table, populating it with data, and creating a materialized view based on a simple query. It explains how the materialized view can be managed and refreshed to ensure it accesses the intended storage table. The process is also applicable to Starburst Enterprise, with further training opportunities available through Starburst Academy.
