I have a few questions that you can answer with by post of the snapshot creation command. Also, the refresh type and any other relevant info. (i.e. snapshot log, etc.)

Subject: Base table of materialized views
I have posed this question to Oracle support and have yet to receive an
understandable answer, so I thought it best to ask the experts.
I used to run under 8.1.5 with compatibility set to 8.0. Whenever I
created a snapshot I had an underlying table snap$_ that was the physical
table residing in Oracle. This was great because it allowed me to alter
the data with DML when I needed to (believe me, I have my reasons!).
After upgrading to 8.1.6 I set compatibility to 8.1 so that I could take
advantage of the HTML generation from SQL and probably some other features
that I can't remember immediately. There is no longer a SNAP$_ table, but
the materialized view is actually a table with the same name. Even though
the object is listed as a table in the data dictionary, when I try to
perform DML I get an error stating that I can't update this view.
Oracle has taken away a feature that I have come to depend on. Does anyone
know of a workaround for this problem?
Any insights would be appreciated.
