Answer / senthil

hi,
we already know basic restrictions of view and materialized
view,

view is a logical or virtual table it doesn't have data on
its own, but materialized view has a physical structure it
stores data in local machine or on its own.materialized view
can be refreshed automatically or manually. but in view, if
any changes happened in the base tables, we want to reflect
the same in the view means view has to issue the select
statement again to the database

Answer / anju

A materialized view is a stored summary containing pre-
computed results.As the data is pre-computed, materialized
views allow for faster query answers

In warehousing applications, large amounts of data are
processed and similar queries are frequently repeated. If
these queries are pre-computed and the results stored in
the data warehouse as a materialized view, using
materialized views significantly improves performance
by providing fast lookups into the set of results.

A Materialized View generally behaves like a Index and it
can also have any Number of Aggregates and Joins.

Whatis the difference between View and Materialized View ?..

Answer / navas

View:It is a sql query which is executed and populates
results each time when the particular view is accessed.When
we make a DML statement in view it will affect the original
data available in datebase table.
Materialized view:Materialized view is similar to a table
that exists in the table space.The resultsets are fetched
and populated in materialized view from various table when
a meterialixed view is created and will be availabe until
the view is refreshed.

Whatis the difference between View and Materialized View ?..

Answer / surajit n bhowmick

A View is just a stored query and has no physical role.
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 does not have to resolve the query each time it is
queried. Depending on how large the result and how complex
the query, a materialized view should perform better.
