only reading from view.
The current implementation of materialized views does
no keep the version to which a specific version of materialized
view schema corresponds to. This complicate things especially on
old views versions that the schema doesn't support anymore. However,
the views, being also an independent table should allow reading from
them as long as they exist even if the base table changed since then.
For the reading purpose, we don't need to know the exact composition
of view primary key columns that are not part of the base primary
key, we only need to know that there are any, and this is a much
looser constrain on the schema.
We can rely on a table invariants such as the fact that pk columns are
not going to disappear on newer version of the table.
This means that if we don't find a view column in the base table, it is
not a part of the base table primary key.
This information is enough for us to perform read on the view.
This commit adds support for being able to rely on such partial
information along with a validation that it is not going to be used for
writes. If it is, we simply abort since this means that our schema
integrity is compromised.
