Understanding Query Rewrite
Note:
PeopleSoft enables Query Rewrite only for those materialized views whose refresh method is FAST.
The materialized views are created from complex queries and aggregate data from various tables. Query Rewrite is a process that answers the queries using materialized views. It transforms a SQL statement that references tables and views into a statement accessing one or more materialized views that are defined on the detail tables.
For more information on Query Rewrite, see the latest Oracle Database documentation.
