Symptoms


You receive the following error  when creating  Cube Materialized View using CREATE_MVIEW function.
The example bellow uses the SH sample schema.

This PL/SQL script uses the CREATE_MVIEW function to create a cube
materialized view from CAL_MONTH_SALES_MV. CREATE_MVIEW sets the optional
BUILD parameter to refresh the cube materialized view immediately.


STEPS:
=====


SQL> SET serverout ON format wrapped
BEGIN
salesaw := dbms_cube.create_mview('SH','CAL_MONTH_SALES_MV','build=immediate');
END;
/


This is the output you get:



SQL> DECLARE
salesaw varchar2(30);

BEGIN
salesaw := dbms_cube.create_mview('SH', 'CAL_MONTH_SALES_MV',
'build=immediate');
 END;
/
DECLARE
