How many materialized views are there in Oracle?

This chapter introduces you to the use of materialized views, and discusses: Overview of Data Warehousing with Materialized Views.

What are the two approaches of materialized view?

Read-Only, Updatable, and Writeable Materialized Views. A materialized view can be either read-only, updatable, or writeable. Users cannot perform data manipulation language (DML) statements on read-only materialized views, but they can perform DML on updatable and writeable materialized views.

Which materialized view refresh type is default?

By default, a Complete Refresh is running within one transaction. At the beginning of a Complete Refresh, the old data of the materialized view is deleted, Then, the new data is inserted by running the underlying SQL query. During this time, users can still use the materialized view and see the old data.

Why materialized view is used?

Materialized views are basically used to increase query performance since it contains results of a query. They should be used for reporting instead of a table for a faster execution.

What is materialized view in Snowflake?

A materialized view is a pre-computed data set derived from a query specification (the SELECT in the view definition) and stored for later use. Because the data is pre-computed, querying a materialized view is faster than executing a query against the base table of the view.

Can we do DML on materialized view?

Users cannot perform data manipulation language (DML) statements on read-only materialized views, but they can perform DML on updatable and writeable materialized views.

Is materialized view faster than view?

A view is always updated as the query creating View executes each time the View is used. Materialized View responds faster than View as the Materialized View is precomputed. Materialized View utilizes the memory space as it stored on the disk whereas, the View is just a display hence it do not require memory space.

Why do we use materialized view?

In data warehouses, you can use materialized views to precompute and store aggregated data such as the sum of sales. Materialized views in these environments are often referred to as summaries, because they store summarized data. They can also be used to precompute joins with or without aggregations.

Are materialized views fast?

Materialized views (MVs) can give amazing performance boost. Once you create one based on your query, Oracle can get the results direct from the MV instead of executing the statement itself. This can make SQL significantly faster. So you need to keep the materialized view up-to-date.

How do I trigger a materialized view refresh?

create or replace TRIGGER REFRESH_REST_VIEW AFTER INSERT OR UPDATE ON tbl_contract BEGIN execute DBMS_MVIEW. REFRESH(‘REST_VIEW’); END REFRESH_REST_VIEW; commit; This is my sql trigger i am using to refresh Materialized View.
