We need to create the Materlialized view on PRE-Built Table WITHOUT adding a Constraint to the Master/source Table. This is needed because the Production (LIVE) Database(Master/Source) has NO existing constraints & creating the same on the large 600 GB production Database's tables would be nearly impossible. NOTE - We are getting the following Errors when attempting to create a Materlialized view on PRE-Built Table WITHOUT adding a Constraint to the Master/source Table:- SQL> create materialized view d1 BUILD IMMEDIATE 2 refresh complete as select * from d1@S829mig_teja; refresh complete as select * from d1@S829mig_teja * ERROR at line 2: ORA-12014: table 'D1' does not contain a primary key constraint SQL> create materialized view d1 BUILD IMMEDIATE refresh complete with rowid 2 as select * from d1@S829mig_teja ; as select * from d1@S829mig_teja * ERROR at line 2: ORA-00955: name is already used by an existing object SQL> create materialized view d1 on prebuilt table refresh complete with rowid 2 as select * from d1@S829mig_teja; as select * from d1@S829mig_teja * ERROR at line 2: ORA-12058: materialized view cannot use prebuilt table Give Command with respective syntax, if possible. Another basic question - When a constraint is created does it automatically create an internal underlying index on the respective table?
