Refresh materialized view on fast refresh

Hi,
I want to create a fast refresh on a materialized view but i kept getting ORA-12015: cannot create a fast refresh materialized view from a complex query. When I did a complete refresh on the materialzed view, it completed. I have create a materialized view log for the table. In my materialized view script, I have included a user defined function. Does db version 10g have the capability to do a fast refresh?
Thanks

What is the query you are using for the MV?
The error message says it all... "cannot create a fast refresh materialized view from a complex query"
If your query is complex then you will have to perform complete refreshes.
One way around can be to fast refresh all tables in the query then create a view on them based on the 'complex' query. Admittedly this is only a workaround in certain scenarios.
Check out the documentation...

Issue with materialized view and fast refresh between Oracle 10g and 11g

Hi all,
I've hit a problem when trying to create a fast-refreshable materialized view.
I've got two databases, one 10.2.0.10, another 11.2.0.1.0, running on 32-bit Windows. Both are enterprise edition, and I'm trying to pull data from the 10g one into the 11g one. I can happily query across the database link from 11g to 10g, and can use complete refresh with no problem except the time it takes.
On the 10g side, I've got tables with primary keys and m.v. logs created, the logs being of this form ...
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW LOG ON table WITH PRIMARY KEY INCLUDING NEW VALUES
On the 11g side, when I try to create an m.v. against that ...
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW mv_table REFRESH FAST WITH PRIMARY KEY AS SELECT col1, col2 FROM table@dblink;
... I get an ORA-12028 error (materialized view type is not supported by master site).
After running the EXPLAIN_MVIEW procedure it shows this;
REFRESH_FAST_AFTER_INSERT not supported for this type mv by Oracle version at master site
A colleague has managed to build a fast-refresh m.v. from the same source database, but pulling to a different one than I'm using; his target is also 10g, like the (common) source, so I've no idea why I'm getting the 'not supported' message whilst he isn't.
I've been able, on previous projects, to do exactly what I'm trying to achieve but on those someone with more knowledge than me has configured the database!
I'm now stumped. I'm also no DBA but despite that it's been left to me to install the new 11g database on the 32-bit Windows server from scratch, so there are probably a couple of things I'm missing. It's probably something really obvious but I don't really know where to look now.
If anyone can give me any pointers at all, I'd be really grateful. This question is also duplicated in the Replication forum but hasn't had any replies as yet, so I'm reproducing it here in hope!
Thanks in advance,
Steve

Hi Steve,
You should have a look at metalink, Doc ID 1059547.1
If that does not help, there may be something else in Mater note ID 1353040.1

Enabling materialized view for fast refresh method

In AWM when i select refresh method as FAST and enable the materialized view, am getting the below error:
"Refresh method fast requires materialized view logs and a previously run complete refresh of the cube mv". i need this Fast refresh of a cube materialized view, so that it performs an incremental refresh and re-aggregation of only changed rows in the source table.
can anyone help me on this??

If you want the cube to hold data even after it has been deleted from the relational table, then you should disable the MV on the cube.
Synchronization with the source table is determined by the default "cube script".
<li>CLEAR, LOAD, SOLVE : This will synchronize your cube with the source table. It is a requirement for MVs.
<li>LOAD, SOLVE: This will allow your cube to contain data even after it has been removed from the source table. It sounds like you want this.
Cube builds can be "incremental" in one of two ways.
(1) You can have an "incremental LOAD" if the source table contains only the changed rows or if you use MV "FAST" or "PCT" refresh. Since you can't use MVs, you would need a source table with only the changed rows.
(2) You will have an "incremental SOLVE" (a.k.a. "incremental aggregation") if there is no "CLEAR VALUES" or "CLEAR AGGREGATES" step and various other conditions hold.
To force a "complete LOAD" with an "incremental SOLVE" you should have all rows in your source table and run the following build script.
LOAD, SOLVE You could also run "CLEAR LEAVES, LOAD, SOLVE" to synchronize the cube with the table.
To force an "incremental LOAD" with a "complete SOLVE" you make the source table contains only the changed rows and the run the following:
CLEAR AGGREGATES, LOAD, SOLVEor
LOAD, CLEAR AGGREGATES, SOLVEFinally, if you want both LOAD and SOLVE to be incremental you make the source table contains only the changed rows and the run the following:
LOAD, SOLVE

Materialized view not fast refreshable

I need to calculate a moving total in a materialized view - that is, calculate subtotal for rows starting at current row up to the first row.
I am using a window function, as shown below.
The problem is, MVs using window functions are not fast refreshable, and I need this MV to be fast refreshable.
Is there any other way of getting the moving total without using a window function?

Please suggest what to do to implement fast refresh materialized view for same.Edited by: dba on Sep 20, 2010 12:00 AM

If the two MVs have to be consistent with each other as of a specific time, put them into a Refresh Group and refresh them with DBMS_MVIEW.REFRESH
If an MV is dependent on another, use DBMS_MVIEW.REFRESH_DEPENDENT
See the "Oracle® Database PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference" documentation pages for DBMS_MVIEW.

Materiazed view with fast refresh

Hi All,
I want to create a Materialized view with fast refresh.
I think for fast refresh we need to set up a materialized view log first before the MV gets created.
Can someone please provide the steps and the syntax to do this?
I am new to MV creation so appreciate any help in this regard.
Thanks.
AS

http://www.morganslibrary.org/library.html
Look up Materialized View Log and Materialized View ... both on the same page ... build the demo MV and you can modify the code to build any others you wish.

Creation of fast refresh materialized view

Hi,
I am creating fast refreshable materialized view.At that time i am getting error message
ORA-12052: cannot fast refresh materialized view OPS$QDW.EMP_DEPT_MV
I created log's also on that tables(emp,dept)
Please Help me any body.
I am using oracle 8.1.7.4.0
below the scripts i created
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW LOG ON emp

REFRESH FAST
ENABLE QUERY REWRITE
as
select e.ename,e.empno,e.deptno,d.loc from emp e, dept d
where e.deptno=d.deptno

It will be possible to create a Materialised view with up to 20 tables, but you have to understand the restrictions on complex Materialised views with regards to fast refresh.

Materialized View creation with REFRESH FAST

Hello ,
Please see below case,
TABLE A1(partitioned range+list)
COLUMN C1 -- Primary key
COLUMN C2 -- NUMBER
TABLE D1
COLUMN C1 -- PRIMARY KEY
created MV log as below
CREATE MATERIALIzED VIEW LOG ON A1 WITH ROWID,PRIMARY KEY INCLUDING NEW VALUES;
CREATE MATERIALIzED VIEW LOG ON D1 WITH ROWID,PRIMARY KEY INCLUDING NEW VALUES;
Trying to create MV like below:
CREATE MATERILIZED VIEW mv1test
                                REFRESH FAST ON COMMIT
AS
Select
FROM A1,
                        D1
                WHERE A1.C1 = D1.CI
AND A1.C2 IS NOT NULL;
It gives below error message:
ORA-12052: cannot fast refresh materialized view schema.mv1test
12052. 00000 - "cannot fast refresh materialized view %s.%s"
*Cause:    Either ROWIDs of certain tables were missing in the definition or
           the inner table of an outer join did not have UNIQUE constraints on
           join columns.
*Action:   Specify the FORCE or COMPLETE option. If this error is got
           during creation, the materialized view definition may have be
           changed. Refer to the documentation on materialized views.
However ,as discussed in earlier thread i checked all general restrictions of the 'Refresh fast' approach for join.
Restrictions on Fast Refresh on Materialized Views with Joins Only
Defining queries for materialized views with joins only and no aggregates have the following restrictions on fast refresh:
1) They cannot have GROUPBY clauses or aggregates.
2) Rowids of all the tables in the FROM list must appear in the SELECT list of the query.
3)Materialized view logs must exist with rowids for all the base tables in the FROM list of the query.
4)You cannot create a fast refreshable materialized view from multiple tables with simple joins that include an object type column in the SELECTstatement.
As per above restrictions ,
1) Group by clause is not present
2)i do not understand 2nd point , i have added a1.rowid and d1.rowid in select statement of MV, but got same error.
3) observed same as 2nd point.
4)we have CLOB column in select list. Tried removing this column but got same error.
Please do let me know any workaround on this.
Thanks in advanced ..

Besides XMLTYPE column, your MV definition has a subquery which prevents it from being fast refreshable.
I could not find any specific reference in documentation about restriction on XMLTYPE (or CLOB) columns but it seems logical that oracle will not be able to keep track of changes to binary data. What does DBMS_MVIEW.EXPLAIN_MVIEW generate for your MV definition? That should tell you which all conditions (for FAST REFRESH) your MV violates. Since you can not create a MV LOG to include XMLTYPE column, it will not be possible to create a FAST REFRESHABLE MV that includes the XMLTYPE column.
I am afraid there is not much you can do here unless you are prepared to change the way data is stored in your base tables. If you can store data in base tables using standard data types instead of binary/XML storage, you might be able to create a FAST REFRESHABLE MV.

Fast Refresh Materialized view on a 'View'

Hi,
I am trying to create a materialized view with Refresh FAST option. This is based on a view. I am getting an error that there is no materialized view log on the table. But we cannot create a materialized view log on a view. Can you please let me know how to create a FAST REFRESH materialized view on a view.
Thanks!

Thanks Justin! Actually, I have a remote database on which I want the copy of one of our tables. We have a view on this table on the source database with meaningful names. I have created materialized view logs on the underlying table. If I am able to create a MV on the view, then I need not write that extra step to code for meaningful names. I wanted to know if a fast refresh is possible on a view (There are materialized view logs on the underlying table)?
Thanks!

Fast-Refresh Materialized Views

hi
How to auto Refresh Materialized Views. Mean when ever a new row inserted into a table ; It must show automatically..
Or Tells is that , Is it a good decision use Materialized Views for reporting purpose.

[email protected]> create materialized view log on dept2;
Materialized view log created.
[email protected]> create materialized view dept2_mv
2 refresh fast on commit as

Alternative for OUTER Join for use in fast refresh materialized view

Hi ,
I have two tables as :
CREATE TABLE TEST_SANDY1
COL1 NUMBER
CREATE TABLE TEST_SANDY2
COL1 NUMBER,
COL2 VARCHAR2(10 BYTE)
Data for the tables are :
INSERT INTO TEST_SANDY1 ( COL1 ) VALUES (
1);
INSERT INTO TEST_SANDY1 ( COL1 ) VALUES (
2);
INSERT INTO TEST_SANDY1 ( COL1 ) VALUES (
3);
COMMIT;
INSERT INTO TEST_SANDY2 ( COL1, COL2 ) VALUES (
1, 'a');
INSERT INTO TEST_SANDY2 ( COL1, COL2 ) VALUES (
2, 'b');
INSERT INTO TEST_SANDY2 ( COL1, COL2 ) VALUES (
4, 'd');
COMMIT;
Now when I run the following select statement :
select
b.col1
from
test_sandy1 a,
test_sandy2 b
where
b.COL1 = a.COL1(+)
I get :
COL1
1
2
4
I want to build a materialized view to generate the same values but it has to be fast refresh. But since I am using outer join I am unable to create a fast refresh one.
Can someone suggest an alternate select to create fast refresh materialized view.
Thanks,
Sandipan

The select statement was not fitting my problem , so I'll change it as :
select
a.col1, nvl(b.col2, 'DEFAULT')
from
test_sandy1 a,
test_sandy2 b
where
b.COL1(+) = a.COL1
I get :
COL1     VAL
1     a
2     b
3     DEFAULT
How do I this ?
