    Problem with materialized view

    Hello!!!
    In order to see how materialized views work , I executed the following script in SCOTT schema:

    create materialized view log on emp
    with rowid (job,sal)
    including new values;
    create materialized view emp_mv
    build immediate
    refresh fast on commit
    as
    select job , sum(sal) sum_sal
    from emp
    group by job;

    The problem is that when i update the column sal , or insert a new record in EMP table , the materialized view emp_nv IS NOT UPDATED , although the materialized view log registers the change.
    In which circumstances the desired change will take place?

    Note:
    The parameter 'JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES' of the database has the value 10.

    Did you issue the commit? What is the compile_state and staleness of the materialized view before and after you modify the emp data?

    Problem with materialized view

    Yes , I did.
    As regards , the staleness of data this is not the problem because after I commit the changes I do nothing else on the database , I simply query the emp_mv materialized view.
    What do you mean by the expession complile_state?

    Look at the user_mviews system view to get the values of compile_state and staleness for the MV

    I think I 'm very close to the solution - with your help.
    After i created the materialized view log and the materialized view i noticed the following - in the user_mviews system view :

    Updatable:'N'
    Rewrite_enabled:'N'
    Staleness:'Fresh'
    Compile_state:'Valid'

    After the change (update) and commit the changes i noticed the following - in the user_mviews system view :

    Updatable:'N'
    Rewrite_enabled:'N'
    Staleness:'Unusable'
    Compile_state:'Valid'

    What provoked that change in user_mviews system view and what can i do to get the desired result?
