OK, so the MetaLink article seems to be really incomplete, as I found this hidden in the docs:
"The WHERE clause can contain only joins and they must be equi-joins (inner or outer) and all join predicates must be connected with ANDs. No selection predicates on individual tables are allowed." OK, so I can't have selection predicates with a FAST refresh -- at least in 8i. So I’m not sure an MV is going to give me a significant advantage here over a trigger. I just don’t like the impact of several insert/update triggers (or one big one) on our G/L. <grumble grumble> Rich Jesse System/Database Administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] Quad/Tech International, Sussex, WI USA > -----Original Message----- > From: Seefelt, Beth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, September 09, 2002 1:53 PM > To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L > Subject: RE: Can't create simple MV with FAST refresh > > > > Maybe the IN clause is throwing it? > > Try it with - > > where trans_type = 'A' or trans_type = 'B' > > Just a WAG... > > Beth -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Jesse, Rich INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
