["VIVEK_SHARMA" <VIVEK_SHARMA@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jared,Tim, Folks

Following is our overall approach/Steps of transfer of DB from SUN to
AIX using MV for your review.

At Source/Master DB:-
====================
scott@ORA9IR1> alter table emp add constraint emp_pk
  2  primary key ( empno );

Table altered.

(Since Unique indexes already PRE-Exist, above PK creation will be very
Fast)

scott@ORA9IR1> create materialized view log on emp;

Materialized view log created.

At Target / Slave DB:-
====================
ops$tkyte@ORA9IR2> create table emp as select * from emp@ora9ir1 where
1=0;

Table created.

ops$tkyte@ORA9IR2> create materialized view emp
  2  on prebuilt table
  3  refresh complete
  4  as
  5  select * from emp@ora9ir1;

Materialized view created.

ops$tkyte@ORA9IR2>
ops$tkyte@ORA9IR2> begin
  2     dbms_refresh.make(
  3        name             =>'group1',
  4        list             =>'emp,dept',
  5        next_date        =>sysdate,
  6        interval         =>'sysdate+1/24',
  7        implicit_destroy =>true);
  8  end;
  9  /

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

ops$tkyte@ORA9IR2> exec dbms_refresh.refresh( 'GROUP1' );

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

ops$tkyte@ORA9IR2> alter materialized view emp refresh fast;

Materialized view altered.

At Source/Master DB:-
====================
ops$tkyte@ORA9IR2> @connect scott/tiger@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

scott@ORA9IR1> update emp set ename = initcap(ename) where rownum = 1;

1 row updated.

scott@ORA9IR1> commit;

Commit complete.
(Above done to simulate Production updates on Source DB)

At Target / Slave DB:-
====================
ops$tkyte@ORA9IR2> exec dbms_refresh.refresh( 'GROUP1' );

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

ops$tkyte@ORA9IR2> drop materialized view emp;

Materialized view dropped.

ops$tkyte@ORA9IR2> select count(*) from emp;

  COUNT(*)
----------
        14
