Is there any reason why you don't want to use a refresh group for these mviews?

Historically (we're moving from an ODS export/import scenario),
automation of the replication has been table-driven; the list of
tables to be replicated were governed by a driving table, to which a
record would be added for each table to be replicated.

The requirement of maintaining a refresh group, and ensuring that new
tables get included in it through the use of the ADD procedure, would
likely require as much automation coding (if not more) than the code
required to generate the script for the individual refresh
statements... and since that process has already been done, the
additional benefit that a refresh group would have to my situation is
unclear: there's no need for me to ensure the point-in-time
consistency that a refresh group allows for, and I only have 'the one
group' - so there's no benefit of creating multiple groups for
multiple schedules, etc.

If there were a 'generic', schema-wide, single refresh procedure that
didn't require the maintenance of the group, I'd probably go for it.

In fact, there is a benefit of me being able to report on how long
each of these mvs is taking to refresh - so doing them individually
with TIMING set to ON is helpful for maintaining metrics on the volume
of changes being made to the source tables.



Put the calls in a procedure.
