Symptoms

Problem Statement:
There are many cases where materialized view refresh is very slow without clear reasons. This article describes one of those cases. In this case, the refresh takes a lot of CPU and few hours to complete. However, the same materialized view query takes only a few minutes to complete if run outside the refresh.
Research showed that the INSERT generated by the REFRESH takes a long time while the same INSERT executed outside of the REFRESH runs quickly.
