Purpose

This article has been created to provide a path to existing My Oracle Support articles that have been written to cover the many possible 'ORA-' related issues that can arise from the creation, refresh and general maintenance of Materialized Views (also know as - Snapshots / MVIEW).

Please follow the links above or use the error message you would like a possible solution to as the search criteria (Ctrl-f) within this document.

The search will take you to the section that explains the error, and provides links to existing
documents (where they exist) in My Oracle Support. These documents have been written from previous
occurance of the error and show the Cause and Solution in each case.

Which ORA- error message should I use?

The error messages will appear as a single line or part of an error stack. It is a good idea to use the
correct error as some are just high level errors that are not too important initially.

Example 1.

ORA-12028: materialized view type is not supported by master site @%s

Example 2.

ORA-12012: error on auto execute of job 32
ORA-12008: error in materialized view refresh path                  -- These 2 lines are
ORA-01008: not all variables bound                                        -- significant here
ORA-02063: preceding line from %s
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SNAPSHOT", line 2251
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SNAPSHOT", line 2457
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_IREFRESH", line 685
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_REFRESH", line 195
