Answer / mkumar.it
Snapshots and Materialized view are used interchangibly as
both are almost same. However, materialized view is having
additional feature of query rewrite which is not in snapsot.
In this feature, suppose you made any materialized view
using some aggrigate function and you query base table from
sql using same aggrigate funtion, the query will execute on
the materialized view instead of querying base table
provided you have query rewrite priviledge.

Answer / its me...
A materialized view is a database object that contains the
results of a query. The FROM clause of the query can name
tables, views, and other materialized views. Collectively
these objects are called master tables .
materialized views allow you to maintain copies of remote
data on your local node.
You can select data from a materialized view as you would
from a table or view.
