Query rewrite usage

is there a way to log how often materialized views are accessed in general or by query rewrite enabled option?
i would like to find out which materialized views are useless, because they are never used by query rewrite.

i would like to find out which materialized views are useless, because they are never used by query rewrite.How about you check the mview properties from the view mv_capabilities_table ?

  • Usage of Query Rewrite in Materialized Views

    Hi,
    I have a star schema with fact table and and dimensions tables.
    One of the dimension tables is time_dimension and I have created
    a materialized view(time_sales_mv) on it and the fact table. I
    have also created a dimension(time_dim) on the
    table 'time_dimension' with hierarchies and attributes.
    Following are the syntaxes -
    --Dimension table
    CREATE TABLE TIME_DIMENSION (
    TIME_KEY NUMBER(9) NOT NULL,
    DAY_OF_MONTH NUMBER(9),
    WEEKDAY NUMBER(9),

  • How to handle a phrase like a single word in a query rewrite template?

    Hi there,
    i would like to handle a case like this:
    "hewlett packard" printer
    I have a custom thesaurus where {hewlett packard} is a synonym of {hp}, and viceversa of course.
    Now, i can successfully find records like "hp printer" or "printer model hp 2575 "by issuing the following query:
    select * from sale_items
    where contains(item_name,
    'SYN(hewlett packard,cust_thes) AND printer')>0
    or its equivalent form containing curly braces:
    select * from sale_items
    where contains(item_name,
    'SYN({hewlett packard},cust_thes) AND printer')>0
    My problem is that i can't find a way of successfully passing the phrase "hewlett packard" as a single word in a query rewrite template like this one:
    select * from sale_items
    where contains(item_name,
    '<query>
    <textquery grammar="CONTEXT">{hewlett packard} printer
    <progression>
    <seq><rewrite>transform((TOKENS, "SYN(", ",cust_thes)", " AND "))</rewrite></seq>
    </progression>
    </textquery>
    <score datatype="INTEGER" algorithm="COUNT"/>
    </query>')>0
    When i run this query i get no rows.
    The same happens if i substitute curly braces with double quotes.
    So, how to get phrases to be recognized in the query rewrite template?
    Bye,
    Flavio

    I am unable to find out a way to search on the particular phrase like I have a document containing the text
    “Oracle Text is a good searching tool.” Now if searches for the phrase “searching tool”, it doesn’t return any rows but if I search for “searching” and “tool” in 2 separate queries, it gives the document.
    If any one has done it before, please tell me the solution.
    I have used the following queries to create index on BLOB column:-
    CREATE INDEX doc_ indx ON doctest(document)
    INDEXTYPE IS ctxsys.CONTEXT PARAMETERS('lexer doc_lexer sync (on commit) ');
    select * from doc_test where contains(document, 'searching tool') > 0;
    select * from doc_test where contains(document,'searching') > 0;
    select * from doc_test where contains(document,'tool') > 0;
    Should I specify something while creating the indexes ?
    Regards

  • Spatial vs. materialized views/query rewrite

    Dear all,
    we are trying to use Spatial (Locator) functionality together with performance optimization using materialized views and query rewrite, and it does not seem to work. Does anybody has experience with this?
    The problem in more detail:
    * There is a spatial attribut (vom Typ GEOMETRY) in our table;
    * we define a materialized view on that table;
    * we run a query that could be better answered using the materialized view with query rewrite;
    *the optimizer does not choose the plan using the materialized view, query rewrite does not take place;
    This happenes, even if neither the materialized view, nor the query contains the spatial attribut.
    The explanation given by the procedure DBMS_MVIEW.Explain_Rewrite is:
    "QSM-01064 query has a fixed table or view Cause: Query
    rewrite is not allowed if query references any fixed tables or views"
    We are using Oracle 9R2, Enterprise Edition, with locator. Nevertheless, it would also be interesting, if there is any improvement in 10g?
    A more complicated task, using materialized views to optimize spatial operations (e.g., sdo_relate) would also be very interesting, as spatial joins are very expensive operations.
    Thanks in advance for any comments, ideas!

    alter session set query_rewrite_enabled=true;
    set serveroutput on;

    END;
    The message you get is:

    END LOOP;
    END;
    The messages you get are:

    Cause: Query rewrite is not allowed if query references any fixed tables or views.
    Action: No action required.
    QSM-01019 no suitable materialized view found to rewrite this query
    Cause: There doesn't exist any materialized view that can be used to rewrite this query.
    Action: Consider creating a new materialized view.
    i.e. query rewrite does not work!
    If this works, the next issue is to use materialized views for optimizing spatial operations, e.g., a spatial join. I can supply you with an example, if necessary (only makes sense, I think, after the first problem is solved).
    Thanks in advance for any ideas, comments!

  • Are Cube organized materialized view with Year to Date calculated measure eligible for Query Rewrite

    Hi,
    Will appreciate if someone can help me with a question regarding Cube organized MV (OLAP).
    Does cube organized materialized view with calculated measures based on time series  Year to date, inception to date  eg.
    SUM(FCT_POSITION.BASE_REALIZED_PNL) OVER (HIERARCHY DIM_CALENDAR.CALENDAR BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND CURRENT MEMBER WITHIN ANCESTOR AT DIMENSION LEVEL DIM_CALENDAR."YEAR")
    are eligible for query rewrites or these are considered advanced for query rewrite purposes.
    I was hoping to find an example with YTD window function on physical fact dim tables  with optimizer rewriting it to Cube Org. MV but not much success.
    Thanks in advance

    I dont think this is possible.
    (My own reasoning)
    Part of the reason query rewrite works for base measures only (not calc measures in olap like ytd would be) is due to the fact that the data is staged in olap but its lineage is understandable via the olap cube mappings. That dependency/source identification is lost when we build calculated measures in olap and i think its almost impossible for optimizer to understand the finer points relating to an olap calculation defined via olap calculation (olap dml or olap expression) and also match it with the equivalent calculation using relational sql expression. The difficulty may be because both the olap ytd as well as relational ytd defined via sum() over (partition by ... order by ...) have many non-standard variations of the same calculation/definition. E.g: You can choose to use or choose not to use the option relating to IGNORE NULLs within the sql analytic function. OLAP defn may use NASKIP or NASKIP2.
    I tried to search for query rewrite solutions for Inventory stock based calculations (aggregation along time=last value along time) and see if olap cube with cube aggregation option set to "Last non-na hierarchical value" works as an alternative to relational calculation. My experience has been that its not possible. You can do it relationally or you can do it via olap but your application needs to be aware of each and make the appropriate backend sql/call. In such cases, you cannot make olap (aw/cubes/dimensions) appear magically behind the scenes to fulfill the query execution while appearing to work relationally.

  • Materialized Views with Query Rewrite is not getting re-written

    I have tried everything that has been mentioned in all the forums here and on metalink to fix this issue, has any smart APEX user found a solution?
    The issue is the MV with Query rewrite capability is not being re-written.
    Things I have tried
    1) give all Query Rewrite privileges to all 3 APEx schemas and parsing schema;
    2) check trace files with tkprof;
    3) dynamically printed explain plan from v$_SQL on the page while executing the query;
    4) to test in a different environment i created an another DAD using the pl/sql webtool kit and tried the same thing and rewrite works like a charm...
    whats the issue here...why are apex schemas not re-writing the queries????
    appreciate any help...thanks

  • Materialized views - query rewrite -- optional joins & dimensions

    Hi,
    I've implemented a number of materialized views that are accessible via query rewrite.
    Most of these views make use of duplicate tables (DD_TIME table is joined via purchase, load, process, ... date columns)
    I've also created a dimension to make Oracle aware of the time relation (month is child of year...)
    The issue:
    --> If I create the mat. view with inner joins, query rewrite works with the dimensions, but I need to provide ALL joined tables in the query
    --> If I create the mat. view with outer joins, query rewrite works even with 1 joined table, but the dimension seems to be ignored
    How can I create 'optional' joins in the Mat. View while making use of dimensions for rollup?
    (the limitations on materialized view delta joins mentioned on [oracle docs|http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28313/qradv.htm#autoId16] kinda has me worried)
    Example Mat. View:
    CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW DA_REPOSITORY_MERCHANT_MM
    ... ENABLE QUERY REWRITE
    AS SELECT
    DDFPC.YEAR_NO,
    DDFPC.YEAR_MONTH,
    DDPUR.YEAR_NO,
    DDPUR.YEAR_MONTH,
    SUM( DF.TRANSACTION_AMOUNT )
    FROM DF_REP DF,
    DD_TIME DDFPC,
    DD_TIME DDPUR
    WHERE DF.FPC_DTE = DDFPC.DAY_DATE(+)
    AND DF.PUR_DTE = DDPUR.DAY_DATE(+)
    GROUP BY
    DDFPC.YEAR_NO,
    DDFPC.YEAR_MONTH,
    DDPUR.YEAR_NO,
    DDPUR.YEAR_MONTH
    Example query launched:
    SELECT
    DDFPC.YEAR_NO,
    SUM( DF.TRANSACTION_AMOUNT )
    FROM DF_REP DF,
    DD_TIME DDFPC
    WHERE DF.FPC_DTE = DDFPC.DAY_DATE
    GROUP BY
    DDFPC.YEAR_NO

    The problem was resolved by setting foreign keys in the fact table and making them not nullable + using inner joins.
    --> this informs oracle there can be no difference between a query without the dimensions and a query with the dimensions.
    As a result, the materialized view can contain 1 fact linked to 2 dimension tables, but the query rewrite will work for queries on the 1 fact joined with only 1 dimension

  • Help with query rewrite and materialized views

    Hello everybody,
    I'm currently learning how to use Oracle (10G Enterprise) and in particular, Materialized Views.
    I seem to have a problem making the optimizer use a materialized view. I have already set the OPTIMIZER_MODE, QUERY_REWRITE_ENABLED and QUERY_REWRITE_INTEGRITY as needed.
    I need to create a materialized view for the following query:
    Q1:
    SELECT PS_SUPPKEY, PS_PARTKEY, PS_SUPPCOST
    FROM PARTSUPPLIER E, PART WHERE PS_PARTKEY=P_PARTKEY and (lower(P_COMMENT) LIKE ''_o_a\%'' or lower(P_COMMENT) LIKE ''_o_u\%'')
    and PS_SUPPCOST =
    (SELECT min( PS_SUPPCOST)
    FROM PARTSUPPLIER I
    WHERE E.PS_PARTKEY=I.PS_PARTKEY)'
    I created it using the following code:
    CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW mv_q1
    ENABLE QUERY REWRITE
    AS SELECT PS_SUPPKEY, PS_PARTKEY, PS_SUPPCOST
    FROM PARTSUPPLIER E JOIN PART ON (PS_PARTKEY=P_PARTKEY)
    WHERE lower(P_COMMENT) LIKE '_o_a%' or lower(P_COMMENT) LIKE '_o_u%'
    and PS_SUPPCOST=
    (SELECT min( PS_SUPPCOST)
    FROM PARTSUPPLIER I
    WHERE E.PS_PARTKEY=I.PS_PARTKEY);
    I have created the statistics using:
    execute dbms_stats.gather_table_stats('frandres',' mv_q1');
    execute dbms_stats.gather_table_stats('frandres','PARTSUPPLIER');
    execute dbms_stats.gather_table_stats('frandres','PART');
    Both partsupplier and part are tables and not views.
    When executing Q1, the plan does not use the materialized view. Furthermore, when using explain rewrite:
    DECLARE
    qrytxt VARCHAR2(3000) := 'SELECT PS_SUPPKEY, PS_PARTKEY, PS_SUPPCOST
    FROM PARTSUPPLIER E, PART WHERE PS_PARTKEY=P_PARTKEY and (lower(P_COMMENT) LIKE ''_o_a\%'' or lower(P_COMMENT) LIKE ''_o_u\%'')
    and PS_SUPPCOST =
    (SELECT min( PS_SUPPCOST)
    FROM PARTSUPPLIER I
    WHERE E.PS_PARTKEY=I.PS_PARTKEY)';
    BEGIN
    dbms_mview.EXPLAIN_REWRITE
    (qrytxt,'MV_Q1','MV_Q1');
    END;
    I get the following message:
    MESSAGE
    QSM-01150: query did not rewrite
    QSM-01263: query rewrite not possible when query references a dictionary table o
    r view
    QSM-01219: no suitable materialized view found to rewrite this query
    What I can't understand is why it says I am referencing the dictionary or a view?
    If I remove the (lower(P_COMMENT) LIKE ''_o_a\%'' or lower(P_COMMENT) LIKE ''_o_u\%'') condition to the query (using the same materialized view), I get the following message from EXPLAIN_REWRITE:
    MESSAGE
    QSM-01150: query did not rewrite
    QSM-01219: no suitable materialized view found to rewrite this query
    Which is reasonable.
    I don't know if the like condition is messing up my materialized view. Can anyone please help?
    Thanks a lot in advance.

    Bingo!
    The 10.2.0.3 patch set is supposed to fix this ( [List of bugs fixed (MVs)|http://www.dbatools.net/doc/bug10203.html#MVIEW] )
    In particular:
    5052568      Query rewrite does not work for SQL with LIKE clause.
    Thank you very much for your message!
    The downside is that I'm only using Oracle for educational purposes and consequently have no Metalink id, so I can't install the patch. Thanks a lot though!

  • Query rewrites with Nested materialized views with different aggregations

    Platform used : Oracle 11g.
    Here is a simple fact table (with measures m1,m2) and dimensions (a) Location (b) Calendar and (c) Product. The business problem is that aggregation operator for measure m1,m2 are different along location dimension and Calendar dimension. The intention is to preaggregate the measures for a product along the calendar dimension and Location dimension and store it as materialized views.
    The direct option is to define a materialized view with Inline queries (Because of the different aggrergation operator, it is not possible to write a query without Inline query). http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28313/qradv.htm#BABEAJBF documents the limitations that it works only for 'Text match' and 'Equivalent queries' and that is too limiting.
    So decided to have nested materialized view, with first view having just joins(my_dim_mvw_joins), the second view having aggregations along Calendar dimension (my_dim_mvw_calendar) and third view having aggregations along the Location dimension(my_dim_mvw_location). Obviously I do not want the query I fire to know about materialized views and I fire it against the fact table. I see that for the fired query (Which needs aggregations along both Calendar and Location), is rewritten with just second materialized view but not the third. (Had set QUERY_REWRITE_INTEGRITY as TRUSTED) .
    Wanted to know whether there are limitations on Query Writes with nested materialized views? Thanks
    (Have given a simple testable example below. Pls ignore the values given in 'CALENDAR_IDs', 'PRODUCT_IDs' etc as they are the same for all the queries)

    This Query rewrites only with my_dim_mvw_calendar. (as saw in Query Plan and EXPLAIN_MVIEW). But we would like it to use my_dim_mvw_location as that has aggregations for both dimensions.

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to make my programmer's life easier by creating a database view for them to query the data, so they don't have to worry about joining tables. This sounds like a pretty horrible idea. I say this because you will eventually end up with programmers that know nothing about your data model and how to properly interact with it.
    Additionally, what you will get is a developer that takes one of your views and see's that of the 20 columns in it, it has 4 that he needs. If all those 4 columns comes from a simple 2 table join, but the view has 8 tables, you're wasting a tonne of resources by using the view (and heaven forbid they have to join that view to another view to get 4 of the 20 columns from that other view as well).
    Ideally you'd write stored routines that satisfy exactly what is required (if you are the database resource and these other programmers are java, .net, etc... based) and the front end developers would call those routines customized for an exact purpose.
    Creating views is not bad, but it's by no means a proper solution to having developers not learn or understand SQL and/or the data model.

  • Query rewrite does not happen

    Hello all,
    let me start by wishing you all the best for the forthcoming year !
    And now, the problem
    I am trying to create a materialized view so that a few slow reports that run on OBIEE (10g) make use of query rewrite functionality. Unfortunately any attempt that had made was unsuccessful. I though of posting the query that is created by OBIEE and the different materialized views that i have created, so that anyone that had a similar problem before might help me through it.  So here it goes ( there is a separate discussion for the other query here ) :
    First comes the query that was created by OBIEE when no materialized view existed.

    Hello again,
    It appeared that, the problem is present only when I try the query in pl/sql developer.
    For some reason, even though I set QUERY_REWRITE_INTEGRITY to STALE_TOLERATED, it behaved as this parameter was set to ENFORCED.
    So the case was that:
    for session - STALE_TOLERATED
    for system - ENFORCED
    In v$parameter2 against "QUERY_REWRITE_INTEGRITY" was shown "stale_tolerated", but the query was not rewritten.
    When I do the same (altering the session and perform the select query) in SQLPlus, everything works as expected - the query is rewritten.
    And I conclude the problem is in PL/SQL Developer (my version is 8.0.1.1498) or something related to this.

  • Query Rewrite ISSUE (ANSI JOINS do not work, traditional join works ) 11gR2

    For some types of queries constructed with ANSI JOINS, materialized views are not being used.
    This is currently increasing time on various reports since we cannot control the way the queries are generated(Tableau Application generates and runs queries against the STAR Schema).
    Have tried to debug this behavior using DBMS_MVIEW.EXPLAIN_REWRITE and mv_capabilities function without any success.
    The database is configured for query rewrite: REWRITE INTEGRITY, QUERY REWRITE ENABLED and other settings are in place.
    Have successfully reproduced the issue using SH Sample schema:
    Q1 and Q2 are logically identical the only difference between them being the type of join used:
    Q1: ANSI JOIN
    Q2: Traditional join
    Below is an example that can be validated on SH sample schema.
    Any help on this will be highly appreciated.

  • Query Rewrite with regular database Views

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to make my programmer's life easier by creating a database view for them to query the data, so they don't have to worry about joining tables. However, query rewrite doesn't work no matter how I define the MV and View. Here's an example:
    I've Sales tables with columns: PDate, CustCode, Amount
    and Customer table with columns: CustCode, CustDesc
    I create a view SALES_V with columns: PDate, CustCode, CustDesc, Amount by joining Sales table with Customer table as follows:
    create or replace view SALES_V as
    select PDate, c.CustCode, c.CustDesc, Amount
    from Sales s
    join Customer c on (s.CustCode=c.CustCode);
    For the sake of speed, I create a materialized view SALES_TOT_MV with columns: PDate, Amount with the following SQL:
    create materialized view SALES_TOT_MV
    enable query rewrite
    as select PDate, sum(Amount) Amount from Sales
    group by PDate;
    When I run the following query, I expect it to be rewritten to make use of SALES_TOT_MV:
    select PDate, sum(Amount) from SALES_V
    group by PDate;
    However, explain plan always tell me it's using SALES table, not the SALES_TOT_MV.
    Can somebody tell me it's a limitation of Oracle optimizer or I'm just missing something for this?
    Thanks in advance!!

I say this because you will eventually end up with programmers that know nothing about your data model and how to properly interact with it.
    Additionally, what you will get is a developer that takes one of your views and see's that of the 20 columns in it, it has 4 that he needs. If all those 4 columns comes from a simple 2 table join, but the view has 8 tables, you're wasting a tonne of resources by using the view (and heaven forbid they have to join that view to another view to get 4 of the 20 columns from that other view as well).
    Ideally you'd write stored routines that satisfy exactly what is required (if you are the database resource and these other programmers are java, .net, etc... based) and the front end developers would call those routines customized for an exact purpose.
    Creating views is not bad, but it's by no means a proper solution to having developers not learn or understand SQL and/or the data model.

  • Query Rewrite (QSM-01263) and Views in Execution Plan

    Hello!
    I created a query rewrite enabled materialized view from a query, which contains only tables (no views). Query rewrite didn't work, so i checked the query with dbms_mview.explan_rewrite, which told my that my query contains references to views or dictionary tables. I checked my query again, but there are only tables, no views, no dictionary tables.
    When I look in the execution plan of my query I see that the query optimizer generates views, I guess from my subquery (?). "A view definition was processed, either from a stored view...or as defined by steps...".
    I suppose that's the reason why my query rewrite doesn't work. All my other mat views are working fine, so the usual parameters (query_rewrite_enabled, integrity, etc.) are set correctly.
    Do you have any ideas how to get my query rewrite enabled work?
    Thanks!

    Modifying the query (potentially with hints) so that Oracle doesn't do the view transformation would be one option.

  • Materialized views on prebuilt tables - query rewrite

    Hi Everyone,
    I am currently counting on implementing the query rewrite functionality via materialized views to leverage existing aggregated tables.
    Goal*: to use aggregate-awareness for our queries
    How*: by creating views on existing aggregates loaded via ETL (+CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW xxx on ON PREBUILT TABLE ENABLE QUERY REWRITE+)
    Advantage*: leverage oracle functionalities + render logical model simpler (no aggregates)
    Disadvantage*: existing ETL's need to be written as SQL in view creation statement --> aggregation rule exists twice (once on db, once in ETL)
    Issue*: Certain ETL's are quite complex via lookups, functions, ... --> might create overy complex SQLs in view creation statements
    My question: is there a way around the issue described? (I'm assuming the SQL in the view creation is necessary for oracle to know when an aggregate can be used)
    Best practices & shared experiences are welcome as well of course
    Kind regards,
    Peter

    I'm still in the process of testing, but the drops should not be necessary.
    Remember: The materialized view is nothing but a definition - the table itself continues to exist as before.
    So as long as the definition doesn't change (added column, changed calculation, ...), the materialized view doesn't need to be re-created. (as the data is not maintained by Oracle)Thanks for reminding me but if you find a documented approach I will be waiting because this was the basis of my argument from the beginning.

    ORA-01732: data manipulation operation not legal on this view While investigating for this thread I actually made my own question redundant as the answer became gradually clear:
    When using complex ETL's, I just need to make sure the complexity is located in the ETL loading the detailed table, not the aggregate
    I'll try to clarify through an example:
    - A detailed Table DET_SALES exists with Sales per Day, Store & Product
    - An aggregated table AGG_SALES_MM exists with Sales, SalesStore per Month, Store & Product
    - An ETL exists to load AGG_SALES_MM where Sales = SUM(Sales) & SalesStore = (SUM(Sales) Across Store)
    --> i.e. the SalesStore measure will be derived out of a lookup
    - A (Prebuilt) Materialized View will exist with the same column definitions as the ETL
    --> to allow query-rewrite to know when to access the table
    My concern was how to include the SalesStore in the materialized view definition (--> complex SQL!)
    --> I should actually include SalesStore in the DET_SALES table, thus:
    - including the 'Across Store' function in the detailed ETL
    - rendering my Aggregation ETL into a simple GROUP BY
    - rendering my materialized view definition into a simple GROUP BY as wellNot sure how close your example is to your actual problem. Also don't know if you are doing an incremental/complete data load and the data volume.
    But the "SalesStore = (SUM(Sales) Across Store)" can be derived from the aggregated MV using analytical function. One can just create a normal view on top of MV for querying. It is hard to believe that aggregating in detail table during ETL load is the best approach but what do I know?

  • Materialized views - schedule, indexes, query rewrite, etc.

    I'm trying to get the hang of materialized views and need some help . . .
    running Oracle 10gR2
    I created a materialized view as follows:
    CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW "MY_SCHEMA"."USERS"
    AS
    SELECT * FROM "USERS"@PRODUCTION -- to copy the USERS table from my production database to this database
    Worked fine. So far so good. Then, I altered it to schedule the refresh:
    ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW "MY_SCHEMA"."USERS" REFRESH FORCE START WITH SYSDATE NEXT TRUNC(SYSDATE + 1) + 4/24
    -- to schedule a refresh immediately (SYSDATE) and every morning thereafter at 4:00 am (I think)
    then, I wanted to enable query rewrite, so I issued the following command:
    ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW "MY_SCHEMA"."USERS" ENABLE QUERY REWRITE;
    and I got the
    ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW succeeded.
    message for both of those commands (I'm doing this in SQL Developer).
    Then, I edit the materialized view in SQL Developer, click on the 'SQL' tab, and get the following:
    CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW "MY_SCHEMA"."USERS"
    ORGANIZATION HEAP PCTFREE 10 PCTUSED 40 INITRANS 1 MAXTRANS 255 NOCOMPRESS LOGGING
    STORAGE(INITIAL 65536 NEXT 1048576 MINEXTENTS 1 MAXEXTENTS 2147483645

    TABLESPACE "TBLSPC_PHIGH"
    REFRESH FORCE ON DEMAND START WITH sysdate+0 NEXT TRUNC(SYSDATE + 1) + 4/24

    "SwipePassword","USERS"."PwdLastChanged" "PwdLastChanged","USERS"."Audit" "Audit","USERS"."IsInstructor"
    "IsInstructor" FROM "USERS"@PRODUCTION.REGRESS.RDBMS.DEV.US.ORACLE.COM "USERS";
    The problems I've encountered so far:
    1) I created this two days ago and changed the value of one column in one row in the 'source' USERS table
    (USERS@PRODUCTION) as a test case. So far, that change has not propagated over to my materialized view even though
    it has had two chances to do so (yesterday morning at 4:00 am and this morning at 4:00 am).
    2) I enabled QUERY REWRITE. Why does it still show DISABLE?
    3) The primary key of the table came over (as far as I can tell) because it shows in SQL Developer. However, the
    indexed columns are no longer indexed. Do I need to recreate those indexes manually and will they persist?
    4) As you have guessed, I have just taken the plunge into materialized views, and have not been able to find
    anything on the Web along the lines of 'Materialized Views for Dummies'. So, any and all advice/suggestions/help
    will be welcome.
    Thanks,
    Carl

    The Refresh would be executed by a job submitted in the background.
    Query USER_JOBS (or DBA_JOBS) to see if a job has been submitted and if it has been running (you'd be able to see LAST_DATE, LAST_SEC and NEXT_DATE and NEXT_SEC). \
    If the Refresh job has been failing the FAILURES count would be incremented. If there are 16 consecutive failures, the job is marked BROKEN. (if a job fails, Oracle retries it automatically and keeps retrying till it is BROKEN). If the job has been failing you would get messages in the database instance alert log file and trace files.
    If the Refresh job has not been running check the parameter value for JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES -- a value of 0 would not run in jobs in the USER_JOBS/DBA_JOBS view. Ask the DBA to increase set this parameter to at least 1.
