  • RisingWave's system is generally compatible with PostgreSQL, but there are some unique syntax and commands.
  • The most important unique syntax in RisingWave compared to PostgreSQL is related to Source and Sink commands.
  • Materialized views in RisingWave are automatically updated, eliminating the need to run REFRESH commands manually.
  • There isn't a comprehensive list summarizing all the differences, as the syntax and system design in RisingWave is constantly evolving.
