Description

I just found out about materialized CTEs and thought I really should share this for people in similar situations.

I'm consulting with a company that hides TimescaleDB behind a task queue, & some jobs were taking ages. Using with cache as materialized ( ... ) resulted in a query that was taking days now takes 30 seconds! These last few months I was getting frustrated that the Postgres query planner kept deciding on NestedLoop joins.

I see that you guys cover this in https://www.timescale.com/learn/how-to-use-common-table-expression-sql - however I reckon it could be covered in the query-data section of the docs too to force this on people?
