Difference Between Inline View & Materialized View?

You can use Materialized views to pre-aggregate the data
and improve the query performance. When you create a
materialized view, Oracle created a physical table to hold
data that would usually be read via a view. When you create
a materialized view, you specify the view's base query as
well as a schedule for the refreshes of its data. You can
then index the materialized view to enhance the performance
of queries against it. As a result, you can provide data to
your user in the format they need, indexed appropriately.

A View is a database object that is a logical
Representation of of a table. It is derived from a table
but has no storage of its own and often may be used in the
same manner as a table.

What is the difference between view and materialised view?..

Answer / bhabna

1.Basically Materialize view is used as the local copy of a
remote table.So instead of using a remote table,we use M-
View to avoid the network trafic.

2. One of the most prominent feature of M-view is "ENABLE
QUERY REWRITE" clause.It is a query optimization
technique that transforms a user query written in terms of
tables and views, to execute faster by fetching data from
materialized views. It is completely transparent to the end
user, requiring no intervention or hints in the SQL
application because the Oracle9i server will automatically
rewrite any appropriate SQL application to use the
materialized views.

Where as view doesn't contain any such type of clause

3.View doesn't contains any data where as M-View does

4.View reflects the data whenever thae base table is
updated but M-view doesn't reflect that untill it is
refreshed.
