Dennis, That's one of the nuances of MV replication. If you alter the master table, you have to drop and recreate the MV on the snapshot site. This is as per Oracle's internal documentation.
However, there is a trick. If you have created the MV using a prebuilt table, then you can have a workaround. When you build an MV on a table, Oracle simply assumes the type of the segment as MV rather than the table, i.e. the segment that used to be known as the table is now known as the MV. when the MV is dropped, Oracle does not drop the segment; rather it reverts the type to the table as it used to be. So when you alter the master table, follow the sequence of steps. stop replication drop the MV alter the master table alter the prebuilt table in the same way. Build the MV on the prebuilt table again. Of course, there are several small but crucial steps to be followed. I have described the procedure completely in http://www.dbazine.com/nanda2.html . Hope this helps.
