REFRESH v16

Suggest edits

Use the REFRESH procedure to refresh all views specified in either a comma-separated list of view names or a table of DBMS_UTILITY.UNCL_ARRAY values. The procedure has two signatures. Use the first form when specifying a comma-separated list of view names:

REFRESH(
  <list> IN VARCHAR2,
  <method> IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
  <rollback_seg> IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
  <push_deferred_rpc> IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT TRUE,
  <refresh_after_errors> IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE,
  <purge_option> IN NUMBER DEFAULT 1,
  <parallelism> IN NUMBER DEFAULT 0,
  <heap_size> IN NUMBER DEFAULT 0,
  <atomic_refresh> IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT TRUE,
  <nested> IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE);

Use the second form to specify view names in a table of DBMS_UTILITY.UNCL_ARRAY values:

REFRESH(
  <tab> IN OUT DBMS_UTILITY.UNCL_ARRAY,
  <method> IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
  <rollback_seg> IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
  <push_deferred_rpc> IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT TRUE,
  <refresh_after_errors> IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE,
  <purge_option> IN NUMBER DEFAULT 1,
  <parallelism> IN NUMBER DEFAULT 0,
  <heap_size> IN NUMBER DEFAULT 0,
  <atomic_refresh> IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT TRUE,
  <nested> IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE);

Parameters

list

list is a VARCHAR2 value that specifies the name of a materialized view or a comma-separated list of materialized view names. The names can be schema-qualified.

tab

tab is a table of DBMS_UTILITY.UNCL_ARRAY values that specify names of a materialized view.

method

method is a VARCHAR2 value that specifies the refresh method to apply to the specified views. The only supported method is C, which performs a complete refresh of the view.

rollback_seg

rollback_seg is accepted for compatibility and ignored. The default is NULL.

push_deferred_rpc

push_deferred_rpc is accepted for compatibility and ignored. The default is TRUE.

refresh_after_errors

refresh_after_errors is accepted for compatibility and ignored. The default is FALSE.

purge_option

purge_option is accepted for compatibility and ignored. The default is 1.

parallelism

parallelism is accepted for compatibility and ignored. The default is 0.

heap_size IN NUMBER DEFAULT 0,

heap_size is accepted for compatibility and ignored. The default is 0.

atomic_refresh

atomic_refresh is accepted for compatibility and ignored. The default is TRUE.

nested

nested is accepted for compatibility and ignored. The default is FALSE.

Examples

This example uses DBMS_MVIEW.REFRESH to perform a complete refresh on the public.emp_view materialized view:

EXEC DBMS_MVIEW.REFRESH(list => 'public.emp_view', method => 'C');
