Indeed, this is true. The schema that nagios-db stores stuff into is just
normal tables, but the GUI I hacked up for it queries from the
materialized views of those table. This was done because it dramatically
speeds up the page generation, at the cost of having things almost
real-time. If that's unacceptable, then simply don't use the raw tables. 
That's what the mysql flavor of the nagios-db module does.

And, please don't think the PHP GUI included with nagios-db is what I 
consider the pinacle of GUI design. It's functional, and that's about all 
that can be said for it. If somebody wants to make it better, I will have 
zero complaints.
