Yo, ppl. I was asked if this is possible to have a database that would contain a very specific views that are built from the source database objects so that our security ppl could run their reports. IMHO, the ideal solution would be building a replication site using MVs. My question to you is the following: I am not quite sure would there be any impact on my source database as eventually the umber of MVs can grow if I did everything correctly and everybody is satisfied with the result. The one who uses remote MVs - please, share your experience, pros and cons, the speed of building replication environment, etc.. This is all is under the investigation yet, so any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot before hand, M.
