Hi Andrew, That could be it. That would make sense. I'm the developer(and implementer) of the Materialized Views. I will pass this on to the DBA's and see what the answer is.

I am noticing that the performance is noticeably degraded. Checked out the Explain Plan on 9i vs 10g for some the materialized views, and they would indicate that on 10g, the materialized views should at least perform the same OR performance should be approved. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, Chuck -- Andrew W. Kerber 'If at first you dont succeed, dont take up skydiving.'
