5 Create Materialized View Group

This chapter illustrates how to create a materialized view group at a remote materialized view replication site.

This chapter contains these topics:

Before you build materialized view environments, you must set up your master site, create a master group, and set up your intended materialized view sites. Also, if conflicts are possible at the master site due to activity at the materialized view sites you are creating, then configure conflict resolution for the master tables of the materialized views before you create the materialized view group.

Overview of Creating a Materialized View Group

After setting up your materialized view site and creating at least one master group, you are ready to create a materialized view group at a remote materialized view site. Figure 5-1 illustrates the process of creating a materialized view group.


See Also:

Chapter 2, "Create Replication Site" for information about setting up a materialized view site, and see Chapter 3, "Create a Master Group" for information about creating a master group.

Creating a Materialized View Group

This chapter guides you through the process of creating two materialized view groups at two different materialized view sites: mv1.world and mv2.world:

Therefore, the examples in this chapter illustrate how to create a multitier materialized view environment, where one or more materialized views are based on other materialized views.

Complete the following steps to create these two materialized view groups.

Creating the Materialized View Group at mv1.world

Complete the following steps to create the hr_repg materialized view group at the mv1.world materialized view site. This materialized view group is based on the hr_repg master group at the orc1.world master site.


Step 1 Create materialized view logs at the master site.

If you want one of your master sites to support a materialized view site, then you need to create materialized view logs for each master table that is replicated to a materialized view. Recall from Figure 2-1 that orc1.world serves as the target master site for the mv1.world materialized view site. The required materialized view logs must be created at orc1.world.

CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW LOG ON hr.regions;

Step 2 If they do not already exist, then create the replicated schema and its database link.

Before building your materialized view group, you must make sure that the replicated schema exists at the remote materialized view site and that the necessary database links have been created.

In this example, if the hr schema does not exist, then create the schema. If the hr schema already exists at the materialized view site, then grant any necessary privileges and go to the next task in this step.
