Error Creating Materialized View With a Job

Question

Oracle 9ir2
I've created a job like this in a java class:
...Java Code ...
cs = conn.prepareCall ("DECLARE v_job NUMBER; BEGIN DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT(v_job,'begin CTH_REGENERA_VM; end;', TRUNC(SYSDATE+1) + (3/24)); END;");
...Java Code ...
The Procedure called in the Job:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE CTH_REGENERA_VM
     AUTHID CURRENT_USER IS
     existe NUMBER(1);
     cur BINARY_INTEGER := DBMS_SQL.OPEN_CURSOR;
     fdbk BINARY_INTEGER;
BEGIN
     SELECT count(*) INTO existe FROM user_mviews WHERE mview_name = 'CTH_PRESENTA_A_VM';
     IF existe > 0 THEN
          DBMS_SQL.PARSE(cur, 'DROP MATERIALIZED VIEW CTH_PRESENTA_A_VM', DBMS_SQL.NATIVE);
     fdbk := DBMS_SQL.EXECUTE(cur);
          INSERT INTO CTH_HISTORIAL VALUES('ELIMINADA VM CTH_PRESENTA_A_VM', SYSDATE);
          COMMIT;
     END IF;
     DBMS_SQL.PARSE(cur, 'CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW CTH_PRESENTA_A_VM

     fdbk := DBMS_SQL.EXECUTE(cur);
     INSERT INTO CTH_HISTORIAL VALUES('EJECUTO EL PARSE DE MATERIALIZED', SYSDATE);
     INSERT INTO CTH_HISTORIAL VALUES('CREADA VM CTH_PRESENTA_A_VM', SYSDATE);
     DBMS_SQL.PARSE(cur, 'CREATE INDEX CTH_INDEX1

     fdbk := DBMS_SQL.EXECUTE(cur);
     INSERT INTO CTH_HISTORIAL VALUES('CREADO INDICE ORACLE TEXT CTH_INDEX1', SYSDATE);
     DBMS_SQL.PARSE(cur, 'CREATE INDEX CTH_IDX_MUNICIPIO3

          TABLESPACE IDX1_CTH
          STORAGE (INITIAL 1M NEXT 512K MINEXTENTS 1 MAXEXTENTS UNLIMITED PCTINCREASE 0)', DBMS_SQL.NATIVE);
     fdbk := DBMS_SQL.EXECUTE(cur);
     INSERT INTO CTH_HISTORIAL VALUES('CREADO INDICE CTH_IDX_MUNICIPIO2', SYSDATE);
     DBMS_SQL.PARSE(cur, 'CREATE INDEX CTH_IDX_FICHA2

END;
I got always an error in the created materialized view. If I call the procedure with SQL Plus, it run ok. The user
has CTXAPP, DBA roles, so I supouse it is not a privileges problem. I also tried to create a simple materialized view or a table, and always got an error ora-12011
Thanks in advance.

If I call the procedure with SQL Plus, it run ok. Are you using the same user to run it in SQL*Plus as runs it from Java.
The normal reason for procedures to fail like this is privileges. Particularly, we cannot run procedures using privileges we have been granted through roles.
The user has CTXAPP, DBA roles, so I supouse it is not a privileges problem. Try granting the system privilege CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW to the user and see what happens.
I drop the materialized and create again, cause it's the fastest way I've found. With a DBMS_MVIEW.REFRESH is too slow.I find that surprising as drop & create has to do all the work that a refresh has to do plus some more - maybe it's something to do with XML. Did you try adding a snapshot log and going for FAST? I don't know whwther the XML procesing would render the view complex - have you explained it?
