Difference between views and materialized views?..

Answer / guru

View: View is a virtual table, a query attached to it.
Actually it have not Stored query results. It will execute
and returns rows.

A materialized view is a database object that contains the
results of a query. They are local copies of data located
remotely, or are used to create summary tables based on
aggregations of a table's data. Materialized views, which
store data based on remote tables are also, know as
snapshots.A materialized view can query tables, views, and
other materialized views. Collectively these are called
master tables (a replication term) or detail tables (a data
warehouse term)

Difference between views and materialized views?..

Answer / pinkey

A view is just a stored query and has no physical part.
Once a view is instantiated, performance can be quite good,
until it is aged out of the cache. A materialized view has
a physical table associated with it; it doesn't have to
resolve the query each time it is queried. Depending on how
large a result set and how complex the query, a
materialized view should perform better.
