There is the 3rd alternative the Mark proposed which I'm going to be doing at 
my current place of employment.  I have no idea why I didn't think of this 
before.

That would be messing with synonyms and keeping multiple copies of materialized 
views.

Thanks Mark!!

Decisions, decisions....  Do we want speed and fewer redo logs, or do we want 
to guarantee
consistent queries?

If the behavior in 8i is to truncate, then our users shouldn't even notice the 
difference in
behavior, but they may notice the difference in refresh times.  On the other 
hand, the
refreshes in the 10g database currently take about the same amount of time as 
the refreshes
in the 8i database...and disk space isn't really an issue....

*I* want the refreshes to go faster and generate less redo, but I'm pretty sure 
that from
a user point of view, the read-consistency is far more important.

For now, I'm leaving our nightly refreshes as they are.

Thanks to all who added their $.02 here!
