I am new to Oracle and I inherited an existing database. I have a materialised view on a table that uses a materialised view log. I have been asked to see if it is possible to categorise the rows by change type (inserted, updated or deleted) and populate another materialised view or table accordingly. If this is possible then how can it be achieved.

Thanks in adavnace,
Pat

SQL> create table t (v integer);

Table created.

SQL> create materialized view log on t with rowid;

Materialized view log created.

Thanks for the quick response. I see that by using DMLTYPE$$ it is possible to identify Inserts, Updates and Deletes. Is there any way to interrupt or extend the process/job that refreshes the materilaised view so that it also writes to another table categorising the rows by DMLTYPE$$.

I don't understand what you mean/want.

Post an example.

Hi Michel,

Apologies for any confusion.

My understanding is that a row is inserted into the materialised view log on each insert, update or delete in the master table. We then have a materialised view that is set up to fast refresh. I need to know what process/job/scheduler initiates that fast refresh and wheteher or not it is possible as part of the fast refresh to also populate another table (say tableB) with the modified rows. This other table(tableB) would contain the modified rows which we could then use to do a logical rather than physical delete on another system.

Apologies again if this is not clear,
Pat

So basically, I would like to populate another table with the rows from the materialised view log just prior to the log being purged. Or am I approaching this in the worng way.

Thanks again,
Pat

Create another mview in place of this second table.

Ok, so how would I categorise the modifications into Inserts, Updates and Deletes as I thought materialised views were just based on the master table. Or would I create a materialised view on the MLOG$$_T (is this even possible?).

I still don't understand what you actually want in the end.
Please post an example.

It is possible that you could be taking the wrong approach. Do you have Enterprise Edition licences? If so, Change Data Capture might be what you need. It take a while to get your head around, but it does work and is very versatile.
