Hi,

Can someone please tell if REFRESH FORCE option is fast refreshable? If yes then what is the syntax for this?

Thanks.
 
Yes. "Refresh force" simply means that the materialized view will do a fast refresh, if it can. If it can't, then it will do a complete refresh. There is no syntax involved.

If you definitely must do a fast refresh, then don't specify "refresh force". Use "refresh fast" instead. That's what we use on our biggest materialized views. A complete refresh would take too long, so it's better for a fast refresh to fail than to attempt a complete refresh.
 
Thanks. Do we need to rebuild indexes in case of complete refresh? Also, in case of fast refresh, do we need to analyze the mat. view or the indexes?
