I fail to see how C would improve the situation here because you just
send queries to the backend in those functions. You can use
the recipes on that page just as they are. If you feel like,
make them a contrib module you can easily apply to a situation.

Not sure how an implemenation "in database" could look like.
Maybe SQL standard reserves something for materialized views
I dont know?
