materialized views and query rewrite questions
Hello, Sorry if I picked the wrong group.
I am running 12.1.0.2 Enterprise Edition on SuSE Linux x86_64, 64-bit.
I'm getting a crash course on Materialized Views and have a couple questions.
I created a materialized view without specifying any other parms. I.e., this statement is
create materialized view <name> as Select stuff from <table list> where <a bunch of joins>;
1) Query rewrite was disabled by default. Isn't having query rewrite turned on generally desirable?
2) Documentation says materialized views with query rewrite DISABLED can be refreshed. Okay, I want my materialized view to be subject to fast refresh. So this means it will not be eligible for query rewrite operations? Is this a "you can have one-or-the-other, but not both" kind of thing?
