title: Materialized View vs Table Using dbt
body: <p>I'm just onboarding dbt and having gone through the tutorial docs I'm wondering if there's a difference between materializing my transformations as views or tables? I'm using Snowflake as the data warehouse. There's some documentation <a href="https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/views-materialized.html#comparison-with-tables-regular-views-and-cached-results" rel="noreferrer">here</a> that shows the differences between a table and a materialized view but if I'm using dbt to update the tables regularly, do they more or less become the same thing?</p>
  <p>Thanks!</p>
