What are snapshots? What are materialized views & where do we use them?

Answer Posted / Rama Shankar Karn

1) Snapshots: A snapshot is a read-only copy of data at a specific point in time. In the context of data warehousing, snapshots can be used to compare data between different periods or to capture the state of a database for backup purposes. 2) Materialized Views (MV): An MV is a pre-computed and stored result set based on a SELECT statement in a database. It acts as a faster substitute for complex queries by providing a summarized version of data. Materialized views are useful when querying large amounts of data repeatedly, as they reduce the need to recompute results.
