What is a materialized view?

Answer Posted / lekhrajdeshmukh

**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.
**You can define a materialized view on a base table,
partitioned table or view and you can define indexes on a
materialized view.
**Materialized views are schema objects that can be used to
summarize, precompute, replicate, and distribute data. E.g.
to construct a data warehouse
