+### Materialized View Example
+
+Imagine the following operation, which creates a materialized view that
precomputes daily event counts:
+
+```sql
+USE prod.default
+```
+
+```sql
+CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW event_agg_mv (
+ event_count COMMENT 'Count of events',
+ event_date)
+COMMENT 'Precomputed daily event counts'
+AS
+SELECT
+ COUNT(1), CAST(event_ts AS DATE)
+FROM events
+GROUP BY 2
+```
+
+The materialized view metadata JSON file looks as follows:
+
+```
+s3://bucket/warehouse/default.db/event_agg_mv/metadata/00001-(uuid).metadata.json
+```
+
+```json
+{
+ "view-uuid": "b2a12651-3038-4a72-8a31-5027ab84da35",
+ "format-version" : 1,

Review Comment:
it is worthwhile to point out explicitly in the text that it is the writer's
responsibility to create the storage table `event_agg_mv__storage`.
