Query performance continued. We have a very complicated Materialized view, and a view that utilizes the MV. We cannot use Fast refresh - a complete refresh is necessary. The app can decide when the view is refreshed, and can execute dbms_refresh when necessary. Essentially all records are truncated, and the view is rebuilt as part of the complete refresh. So, is this just as easy, efficient as any other method such as Temp tables, Truncating a permanent table and re-inserting, or other? Moving forward, JP
