We are not changing the existing behavior. However, since copying data
from large tables can take a significant amount of time, would it be
helpful to add a cautionary note advising users to refresh the
materialized view before running copy command to avoid stale data?
This could prevent users from realizing the issue only after running
the copy operation, which would then require them to run it again. If
you think this is already obvious, then the note may not be necessary.
