10.2.0.3 I have a materialized view that is full refreshing off of 2 other materialized views. I don't have the ability to get a 10046 trace run. When I look at the explain plan, I see the following row source: MAT_VIEW ACCESS FULL http://www.juliandyke.com/Optimisation/Operations/MatViewAccessFull.html When I check v$session_event and v$active_session_history, I see that all my read time is on 'db file serial reads' and I am doing 1 block at a time. Shouldn't I get a db file scattered read? Why would something that is a full table scan do 1 block at a time serial I/O? I am guessing this has to do with the need to maintain the materialized view log? -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
