I think there's a misunderstanding here, I was just asking to Chris whether the new column, that has to be added on the base table, possibly with a default value, has to be propagated to the MV also (so with the same value) or not. Eg old mv : create materialized view as select a from t@dblink say you "alter table t add (new_column int default 42)" has the mv to be logically modified to create materialized view as select a, new_column from t@dblink or does it stay the same, ignoring new_column ? -- Alberto Dell'Era "Per aspera ad astra" -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
