Create a view log for the master table[edit]

This is required for fast refresh

create materialized view log on <table>
/

or...

create materialized view log on <table>
tablespace <tablespace_name>
/

List all materialized view logs[edit]

select 	log_owner
,	log_table
from	dba_mview_logs
/

Create a simple materialized view[edit]

create materialized view emp_mv
refresh [fast | complete | force]
start with sysdate
next sysdate + 1/24
with primary key
as select * from emp@dblink
/

where
Fast = update changes only
Complete = wipe and repopulate the mview
Force = fast if possible, complete if not.

Show all materialized views and their refresh times[edit]

set lines 100 pages 999
col last_refresh format a20
select owner
,      mview_name
,      to_char(last_refresh_date, 'dd/mm/yy hh24:mi') last_refresh
from   dba_mviews
order  by owner
,      last_refresh
/

Show materialized view tables and masters[edit]

set lines 100
col mview format a40
col master format a40
select owner || '.' || name mview
,      master_owner || '.' || master master
from   dba_mview_refresh_times
/

Show refresh jobs in dba_jobs[edit]

This is useful for spotting failures

set lines 100
col job format 9999
col log_user format a15
col last format a15
col next format a15
col fail format 9999
col what format a20
select job
,      log_user
,      to_char(last_date, 'dd/mm/yy hh24:mi') last
,      to_char(next_date, 'dd/mm/yy hh24:mi') next
,      failures fail
,      replace(what, '"') what
from   dba_jobs
where  what like '%dbms_refresh.refresh%'
/

Force a refresh[edit]

Fast - uses the changes in the view log on the source side.

execute dbms_mview.refresh ('<owner.mv_table>','F');

Complete - truncates or deletes the data (depending on other options) and rebuilds the view from scratch (remember to gather view stats afterwards).

execute dbms_mview.refresh ('<owner.mv_table>','C');

Force - tries a fast. If this does not work, a complete will be done.

execute dbms_mview.refresh ('<owner.mv_table>','?');

Rebuild a broken View[edit]

Sometimes the materialised views stop working. If the original table was modified for example (maybe index was changed or a column removed), the view will fail.

  • On PROD
drop materialized view log on loyalty.account
create materialized view log on loyalty.account tablespace loyalty_dl_01 nocache with primary key, sequence including new values;
create synonym snap_ltyprd.account for loyalty.account;
  • On QA
sqlplus snap_ltyprd/****
drop materialized view account;
create materialized view snap_ltyprd.account tablespace snap_ts using index tablespace snap_ts refresh fast on demand enable query rewrite as select * from account@link_loyalty_ltyprd;
select count('e') from account;

Remember to refresh the view stats!

exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(snap_ltyprd, 'account');
