MATERIALIZED VIEW FAST REFRESH IS VERY SLOW, "AS OF SNAPSHOT" CURSORS NOT BEING SHARED (Doc ID 1051346.1)

Symptoms

On a production database version 11.1.0.7,  the fast refresh of a nested materialized view takes a lot of time comparing to the select statement used for the creation of the materialized view.

The refresh of the mview takes approximately 16 min. The select statement itself finishes in about 8 seconds.
It can be seen that most of the time is spent with the parse of update sys.sumpartlog$ statement.


********************************************************************************

update sys.sumpartlog$ s set s.timestamp = :1, s.scn = :2
where
rowid in (select rowid from sumpartlog$ AS OF SNAPSHOT(:3) s1 where
s1.bo# = :4 and s1.timestamp >= to_date('4000-01-01:00:00:00',
'YYYY-MM-DD:HH24:MI:SS'))
