I would say that you would use DBMS_REPCAT.ALTER_MASTER_REPOBJECT
for Advanced Replication -- ie Multi Master Replication.
What you have is a (Read Only) Materialized View , aka Snapshot in earlier
versions.
You can most certainly add a new column to the source table,
with a mere ALTER TABLE .. ADD COLUMN ..
On the other hand, if you wanted the new column to be seen in the
MV as well ....
Even if you had created it with an .. AS SELECT * ..., that would not
automatically re-read the new column as the "local" definition would
have been instantiated when you created the Materialized View.
In my opinion, to add a column, you'd have to DROP and CREATE the MV.
{but I hope, for your sake, to be proven wrong}.
