(1) It doesn't seem to exist in Sybase, at least with that name. (ASE 15.0
does have materialized [deterministic | computed] columns, but this seems
different from your description.)

(2) I imagine that the equivalent functionality could be done with triggers
on the base table(s) that would update the aggregate/dimension/whatever
"materialized view". Apparently Oracle materialized views are more
efficient than this approach?

(3) I would think that this capability is not best suited for OLTP (too
frequent activity) environments. And static tables can be created/updated
in batch DSS environments.

(4) Why does Oracle designate a table as a materialized "view"?
