Purpose
Overview
========
The purpose of this article is to provide a step by step guide to diagnosing
the following error message, when users are attempting to refresh read only
or updatable materialized views / snapshots :
ORA-12004: "REFRESH FAST cannot be used for snapshot ..." (in v8.x)
ORA-12004: "REFRESH FAST cannot be used for materialized view ..." (in v9.x)
Cause: The materialized view log does not exist or cannot be used.
Action: Use just REFRESH, which will reinstantiate the entire table.
If a materialized view log exists and the form of the materialized
view allows the use of a materialized view log, REFRESH FAST will
be available starting the next time the materialized view is
refreshed.
