I was recently working on tuning – production environment, which had number of materilazed views which were scheduled to complete refresh during off hours.
This complete refresh process was very time consuming, also producing a large amount archivelogs & undo.
Customer was complaning about sudden change in materialed view behaviour, after they upgraded database from 9i to 11g.
After reading Oracle documentation about materialized views I found, the reason for this sudden behavoiur change.
From 10g, Oracle has changed the default parameter value of ATOMIC_REFRESH in the DBMS_MVIEW.REFRESH package.
In earlier releases (before 10g) the parameter was set to FALSE by default but now it is set to TRUE, which forces a DELETE of the materialized view instead of TRUNCATE, making the materialized view more “available” at refresh time.
Advantages of ATOMIC_REFRESH => FLASE
- No or very less archive generation
- Complete refresh process is very fast as compared to process with ATOMIC_REFRESH => TRUE
Disadvantages of ATOMIC_REFRESH => FLASE
- Unavailability of data during the refresh process, which could be unacceptable to application and business user.
After discussing with customer, I made changes in refresh methodology so as to use ATOMIC_REFRESH => FLASE.
Time Taken Archive generation Before Approx. 43 minutes Approx. 68 After Approx. 6 minutes Approx. 7
Usage:
EXEC DBMS_MVIEW.REFRESH(‘MVIEW1’, METHOD => ‘C’, ATOMIC_REFRESH => FALSE);
Hope so this post is useful for you 🙂

exec DBMS_MVIEW.REFRESH(‘XX_AP_INV2’, method => ‘C’, atomic_refresh => FALSE);
Still, my refresh took an HOUR…
Hello There,
How much time did it take in the past for complete refresh?
Note: “atomic_refresh => FALSE” will only help you to save time taken for deleting old data in mview, insert will take same time as before.
