Thanks Mahu. Do you get the feeling that I might have done that a few times? ;)
Snapshots and materialized views are the same thing. I guess I might start calling them materialized views in the next version or two, but it is so hard to give up old habits. Another thing you might need to know - you can't easily change a job in the Oracle job queue unless you are the owner, which means that you can't do it as DBA. There is a package called dbms_ijob that will allow you to change jobs as a dba even if you don't own them. There is usually no public synonym for this package, so you will have to refer to it as sys.dbms_ijob. I believe that this package is not officially supported, so you might not find a lot of documentation on it, but I have used it for over a year without any problems. To turn off a snapshot refresh, use the sys.dbms_ijob.broken function. *BE ADVISED* If you unbreak a job in the Oracle job queue, it will try to run immediately. This includes snapshot jobs. If you unbreak a *complete* snapshot refresh job, the first thing it does is truncate the target table. Unbreak a complete snapshot refresh job in the middle of the day and viola, the users suddenly have no data.
