SQL Navigator for Oracle 7.4 - Installation Notes

Materialized View Editor

Use the Materialized (Snapshot) View Editor to view, create or define snapshots.

About Snapshots A snapshot is a segment that contains the result of a query. The snapshot typically contains local copies of remote objects. From Oracle 8i onwards a materialized view is equivalent to a snapshot but allows queries to be dynamically and transparently rewritten to use the materialized view.
