Answer / satish asnani

Answer from Santosh Kumar is correct with slight
improvement. The simple views are actually called Updateable
Views and Complex views are called Non-Updateable Views.
Updateable means we can perform DML operations(Insert,
Update & Delete) on such views. Non-Updateable means we
cannot perform DML operations.

Answer / satish asnani

Simple and complex views do not occupy HD space. The data
remains with the base table and views are just stored
queries which fetch data from base tables. But Materialized
Views maintain a copy of the records in their own space.
That is Materialized views as name suggests store a local
copy of the records from base tables and definitely occupy
HD space.
