I've been expirementing with MV for a couple of days.  Interesting gotcha's for fast 
refresh on
commit, but otherwise cool stuff.  Now for the question.

If I have a base table of 1 millions rows of time series data and I want to produce 
MVs for day,
month, and year aggregates, would it be better to:

a) base all the MVs back to the original table.  Only one mv-log this way but if I 
ever need to
perform a complete refresh, then this would require 3 scan/sort/group of the original 
table.

b) base the day MV on the original table, the month MV on the day MV, and the year MV 
on the month
MV.  Requires 3 mv-logs but a complete refresh would progressively scan/sort/group 
less data.

It may just boil down to a matter of taste.
