OK. I understand.
In the v24-patch, creating IVM on partions or partition table is prohibited.
It is OK but it should be documented.

Perhaps, the following statement describe this.
If so, I think the definition of "simple base table" is ambiguous for some 
users.

+         IMMVs must be based on simple base tables. It's not supported to
+         create them on top of views or materialized views.

OK. I understand.

OK. I understand.
