5.9 DBA_ACTIVITY_MVIEW

DBA_ACTIVITY_MVIEW describes materialized view activity snapshots that were recently taken by the Object Activity Tracking System (OATS).

Each row in this view represents one recently completed activity snapshot and describes the materialized view activity that occurred during the snapshot interval.

Column Datatype NULL Description

SNAP_ID

NUMBER

NOT NULL

Activity snapshot identifier

CON_DBNAME

VARCHAR2(128)

NOT NULL

Name of the container to which the data pertains

INSTANCE_NUMBER

NUMBER

NOT NULL

Identifier for the instance in which the activity snapshot was taken

BEGIN_TIME

TIMESTAMP(3)

NOT NULL

Begin time for the activity snapshot interval

END_TIME

TIMESTAMP(3)

NOT NULL

End time for the activity snapshot interval

MVIEW_NAME

VARCHAR2(128)

NOT NULL

Name of the materialized view for which the activity snapshot was taken

MVIEW_OWNER

VARCHAR2(128)

NOT NULL

Owner of materialized view for which the activity snapshot was taken

USER_CLASS

VARCHAR2(7)

Indicates whether the activity was performed by the RDBMS (SYS) or by a user (NON-SYS)

COMPILES

NUMBER

Number of times the materialized view was compiled

This number includes:

  • Explicit compiles performed with the SQL statement ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEWCOMPILE

  • Automatic compiles that occurred because the structure of an underlying base table changed

REWRITES_TEXTMATCH

NUMBER

Number of query rewrites that used the text match rewrite method

REWRITES_GENERAL

NUMBER

Number of query rewrites that used general rewrite methods

REWRITES_PARTIAL

NUMBER

Number of query rewrites that occurred when the view was partially stale

This number includes:

  • UNION ALL operations involving rewritten queries that had one branch with the materialized view and the other branch with its underlying base tables (partial rewrites)

  • Single query block rewrites of the materialized view that involved a join back to its underlying base table

REWRITES_DELTA

NUMBER

Number of query rewrites that used stale data in the materialized view plus the delta information stored in the materialized view logs

REWRITES_PCT

NUMBER

Number of partition change tracking (PCT) rewrites

REWRITES_HINTED

NUMBER

Number of query rewrites that occurred because the materialized view was eligible for query rewrite and the SELECT statement contained the REWRITE hint with the name of the materialized view specified in the hint

NOREWRITES_HINTED

NUMBER

Reserved for future use

NOREWRITES_STALE

NUMBER

Number of query executions that did not use query rewrite because the materialized view was eligible for query rewrite, but stale

REFRESHES_ON_DEMAND

NUMBER

Number of ON DEMAND refreshes

This type of refresh is performed on materialized views that use the ON DEMAND refresh mode, which instructs the database to refresh the materialized view only when a manual refresh is launched by one of the three DBMS_MVIEW refresh procedures.

REFRESHES_ON_COMMIT

NUMBER

Number of ON COMMIT refreshes

This type of refresh is performed on materialized views that use the ON COMMIT refresh mode, which instructs the database to refresh the materialized view whenever the database commits a transaction that operates on a master table of the materialized view.

REFRESHES_ON_STATEMENT

NUMBER

Number of ON STATEMENT refreshes

This type of refresh is performed on materialized views that use the ON STATEMENT refresh mode, which instructs the database to perform an automatic refresh of the materialized view every time a DML operation is performed on any of the view's base tables.

REFRESHES_SCHEDULED

NUMBER

Number of scheduled refreshes

REFRESHES_AUTOMATIC

NUMBER

Number of automatic refreshes

REFRESHES_FAST

NUMBER

Number of incremental refreshes

REFRESHES_COMPLETE

NUMBER

Number of full refreshes

REFRESHES_PCT

NUMBER

Number of partition change tracking (PCT) refreshes

Note:

The counts in this view are approximate in order to keep system overhead low. Also, there are database activities, such as statistics collection, query compilation, and query optimization, that may cause the counts to be different than expected or to vary slightly across successive queries.
