Odd one here, but after restoring a database in parallel, I notice a few mat views are unmaterialized, e.g.

pg_restore: from TOC entry 21012; 0 1060827831 MATERIALIZED VIEW DATA vmwm_ytd_p postgres
pg_restore: error: could not execute query: ERROR:  materialized view "vwm_info" has not been populated
HINT:  Use the REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW command.
CONTEXT:  SQL function "age" statement 1
Command was: REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW stats.vwm_ytd_p;

The reason being is that vwm_ytd_p uses a function age() which queries from vwm_info, which has not yet been materialized. In fact, it is being materialized in parallel in another job, so not yet available.

Anything to do here? Weird sequence of dependencies, and I'm guessing pg_restore can't quite keep track of it since the dependency is buried in a function call.

Not a dreadful situation if I have to re-mat some views after the restore, but curious if I can do something different.
