what is materialized view?..

Answer / shruthi

Materialized views are schema objects that can be used to
summarize, precompute, replicate, and distribute data. E.g.
to construct a data warehouse.

A materialized view provides indirect access to table data
by storing the results of a query in a separate schema
object. Unlike an ordinary view, which does not take up any
storage space or contain any data.

temporary tables. If we consider the view at database level
it only stores the query , when ever we call the view it
extracts the data from the database based on the query...
