A stored copy can differ from the current view output.

highlighted = computed this step

Materialized copy can be stale

A materialized copy is stored output. If the base table changes, the stored copy can lag behind.

Compare current and stored

The current view has 1 row, and the stale flag is yes.

current rows=1\text{current rows}=1

View examples are tiny finite saved-query outputs; SQL dialects, optimizers, security, updatability, materialized-view strategy, performance, and maintenance advice are out of scope.

Read both tables

The current output and materialized copy are both rendered, so the mismatch is visible.

Summary

This shows finite stored-copy behavior, not materialized-view maintenance advice.
